I am having some serious troubles with my XP. It's XP SP1. I very much kept all the patch updated except that I have not installed SP2 yet.
It has been running fine all these days, the problem seems to appear after the latest patch has been installed. I cannot tell if it's been hacked or some of the core dlls are corrupted, anyway, here are the symptoms:
1. A new user account WEBADMIN appears [don't ask me, i don't know the password... ].
2. The machine logs out automatically after a period of idle time.
3. I tried to remove the WEBADMIN user under "user account", but the page turned blank. =.=
4. Unable to run "Windows update".
5. Unable to run "help and support"
6. Unable to run "System Restore"
7. Unable to run ICQ [failed to initialize, failed even if i re-installed it]
8. Unable to use "Copy and Paste", the option for paste is dimmed.
9. Unable to log into the system thru remote desktop.
10. Unable to pop up any windows. [no response after clicking on an achor.]
11. I am using AVG as the antivirus, I scanned it and no virus were found. But I am unable to update the virus database. A message appears and asks me to re-install the AVG.
12. No little icons on the menu bar even though some programs are currently running.
Please kindly drop me a message for suggestions or advices.
