Computer repair in the San Diego area has consisted of many virus removals recently. Occasionally, we run across virus infections that have corrupted a profile before we arrive. If it's the only profile on that system, getting Windows to a point where you can begin to remove the infection is the first step. Rather than running live CD antiviruses in an attempt to fix the profile, I've found that enabling the hidden admin account and running the normal battery of scans in that profile yields better results. The command to show the admin account is ' Net user administrator /active:yes '. This can be run in the Windows Startup Repair command prompt if necessary (usually is). To hide the account when you are finished, the command is ' Net user administrator /active:no '.
