WINXP Pro load blocked by chinese character pop-up box

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

I have all spyware, virus protection, etc. This action box with chinese
characters comes up during load and sometimes lets me through if I hit
ctr,alt,del, but other times I need to reboot. If I hit OK I can go right to
widows load but not sure if this is saving new instances to my machine r
what. I already run adaware, Pennicillin internet protection, ms spyware
over WInXP pro w/ sp2
Do I need to re-install windows to nail this thing?
THanks

THanks for the fedback, running the latest version of IE. I happenned to be
downloading several midi music files that day. I was uninstallin an
application (Roland Sound Canvas, during reboot, adware told me that an app
was tryinh to modify my reg but I allowed it because I thought it was the
uninstall program updating the reg. I am simply reboooting when this happens
and not running anything, minimal load at start-up, I will rty a safeboot
and re-run all my tools and see if I can trap something. Not too optimistic
right now,
THanks
