Virus causes white page after login, cannot start in safe mode

I am having the same exact problem. I login normally and the screen turns white. If I login in safe mod or network mode, after a password is entered I am logged back out automatically, and my laptop restarts in normal mode. Can someone tell me how to fix it, or if this virus has a name? Earlier I had a virus that I thought I got rid off. It was called the white screen virus, I think. When I logged in, it said I had broken the law and the FBI required I pay a fine. I thoght I got rid of it, could this be the same virus? Any advise will be valued.

I just had this same problem and was able to get it resolved. Everytime I would log into my desktop, my icons would pop up for just a brief second and then the white screen would appear. I couldnt boot the computer up in safe mode because it kept autimatically logging me out and restarting again. This is a really nasty trojan that hijacks your computer including your back up modes. The only option you have is to boot the computer up in safe mode with command prompt, it shouldnt automatically restart if you open up in this mode. Here is a video link to tell you what key strokes to put in to get system restore to pop up. Hope this fixes the problem if you havn't already done so

When the white screen comes up, i hit CTRL - ALT - DEL and told the computer to log off. It gives you a split second on the normal desktop, at which time I clicked on the recycle bin, and clicked delete. This brought up the system message, do you wish to continue to log off or wait for program to respond. As I clicked Cancel, this stopped the log off process and allowed me to get to my task manager. But you gotta be really fast and sneaky.

I have the same problem but your solution doesn't work for me. System restore fails every time. Have you heard any more about this?

Next one of these that comes my way, I'll try clicking the Recycle bin at that moment - I've tried Windows+R and shutdown -a but not quickly enough to make it work so any alternative is worth a shot.

There's a summary of my other fixes - that have worked - in this post. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1646352/departme...

LisaGlenn - in case you find your way back here and wonder what happened to your post, I deleted it on grounds of Commercial Spam so please be more careful in future and read the Rules of Tom's Hardware Forums.

I had no restore points!
My solution - That Works - requires MBAM and Norton Internet Security installed and updated in another pc.
1- Connect the offending HDD to the other pc and scan it with Norton Internet security and MBAM
2- Download a fresh copy of MBAM and place it on the infected HDD, in it's desktop folder
3- Put the HDD back into the computer, and start in safemode+ Command prompt
4- At the prompt, type "explorer"(without the comas) and press enter. Your explorer will pop up!
5- Locate MBAM and start it . (if you can't update it at this stage ignore the update) and run a quick scan
6- Remove all threats and restart in SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING . start MBAM and update it. Quick scan and remove what you just found again.
7- Restart the computer in Normal mode, No more white screen in sight...and run a full scan on all partitions.C:/D:/etc....
Good Luck!
