[Log in error]

get a linux live-CD, save the pics and format the bastard! :]

What exactly is that? And where can I happen to find one?

[Log in error]

There was a recently reported issue of Spybot doing this to systems. Did you happen to have installed that at all?

no i never installed that. i was aware of a infection and mcafee i disliked so i installed avg

scanned it and then clean all iinfections and when i restarted my computer it happened

[Log in error]

Everytime I try to log on, it successfully logs but automatically logs out by itself and goes back to the login screen.

It started when I was aware of an infection and decided to uninstall my current protection (Mcafee) and then I installed AVG, cleaned the infections and AVG requested I restart my computer. I did so and the login error occured.

I've tried

-safemode

-lastknowngoodconfig

-and other whatnot

~I was wondering if I could just install another harddrive, format that with Windows and then copy my pics from the messed up hardrive over to my new one.

any tips and how-to's?

i dont really want to reformat i my aunt keeps alot of family pictures in it.

i greatly appreciate it. :]
