Hello,
Got the AntiMalWare virus and totally messed up my PC, I am getting a Fatal system Error when trying to log into WinXP at error oxc0000005 - ran diagnostics with all passing - no hardware issues. No back up or original cd anymore (burned up) - where can I get the recovery disk at no charge?

Actually for those who get this virus it is this Antimalware Doctor. In order to fix this issue you will need to copy winlogon.exe from the System32 folder and explorer.exe from with windows folder from a good machine that is not infected. Copy the windows directory to same directory calling it Windows2. Update winlogon.exe and explorer.exe into the correct folders on the Windows2 directory. Rename original Windows directory to Windows_bak or some other name. Rename Windows2 to Windows. Reboot machine. The machine should now load correctly. Once this has loaded correctly, delete the Windows_bak directory and you are good to go. Good Luck!
