HELP!!! Does anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?

[stevena184]

I have this on a customers machine and have no idea what the hell it is and how to get rid of it!!! I cant reset the passwords using the Microsoft SAM files in password reset disks and it's coming up in Safe Mode as well, I've tried googleing shit and it's not disappearing! or going and it's doin my nut in!

 

The computer is Windows XP

 

It apparently has Kaspersky on it, but not sure if Kaspersky will do this.

could you get in cmd in any way?

[Godlygamer23]

You may have to re-install Windows XP onto it. Though you also might be able to bypass it.

[stevena184]

I think I could, is there anything that I could do through CMD to remove this? It's a thrid party application which seems to of screwed everything right over! A wipe / re-install would be the last thing I want to do for now but its the last option on the list

Ask the customer what the password is?

Ask the customer what the password is?

I've tried that already... They didn't ask for a password to be put on the machine, they just turned it on and it appeared but we do get customers who have kids who randomly download shite to their computers and we all know shite comes with added shite

I remember there being a hack somewhere that forced it passed the password screen in f8 menu but i cant remember!

 

Ill try to find it again!

Try putting admin for all of them

Get hold of a Ubuntu USB OS. Launch it and try to change password/get rid of Kaspersky to be sure.

It's no use now, the HDD has actually died, it was an IDE baracuda 7200 drive, I had a weird feeling it was failing but he wanted me to try and get into it. Also when I did try to plug into a PC to try and locate the software there to see if I could force remove it, I noticed there was no user accounts left in there, I think the drive might of been on its way out

 

Cheers for the help

Yeah, 
Try this.

 

If you know the name of the domain enter it in, if not "local" will log onto the local computers user list.
User Administrator

Password Blank

 

If not Try

User Administrator

Password admin 

 

Good luck.

Kinda wish the Hard Drive hadn't died Wanted to know what was causing this problem haha.

looks like some login thing for a specific network or a workplace. 

 

may be this PC was a throw away from a office of some kind.

 

if they dont have any or much files on it that is important you might as well as re install windows. 

[stevena184]

I did try on local domain, but nothing, even tried all the administrator / admin pass combinations, if the domain was left blank, it would default to a random number. Confused the hell out of me lol I think it could be a workplace PC thats no longer needed and has been moved.

If you are on a domain try clicking options and seeing if you can select the computer name in the drop down list. If you can do so and you can login to the computer locally and remove it from the domain using My Computer properties.
