this is the scenario- a couple of days back, i formatted my friends laptop (compaq) and reloaded windows xp. everything was nice and smooth till he asked me to load windows blinds and get the aero theme (like in vista).
after that two things happened.
1) the computer kept dropping the network connection from time to time and reconnect. it is connected to broadband through the Lan connection. not dial up. he called up the network providers and they came and changed the modem and checked the connection. everything was ok but still the computer kept dropping the network. the problem was blamed on a virus.
2) on double clicking the "d drive" an error came up of some kind of torjan. everytime one double clicks the d drive or the usb flash drive the same error comes up.
scans run my me
1) avast
2)spybot
3) ad aware
4) trend micro "housecall"
even after removing windows blinds the problem never went away. have run the scans almost 3 times now, but no sign of anything.
any suggestions would be helpful
