How do you remove spyware that will not let you past the blue screen at start up?
Q. I install a active x so I thought. Now when I turn on computer it will start windows xp but a blue background with the word your computer is infected with spyware. It then goes to a blue page stating all the technical problems and reboots itself.

if your using a laptop just remove the battery for 30 seconds and put it back on there.

Safe mode:

Restore your computer, press system recovery, then when the computer shuts off, do the last restore.
Try starting in Safe Mode. Safe Mode often prevents malware from protecting itself. To get into Safe Mode:
1.Log out and reboot your machine.
2.When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.
3.Select Safe Mode from the resulting menu.
4.When the login screen comes up, log in as Administrator. By default, Administrator has no password.
5.The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different. You won’t be able to see the Internet, for instance.
If you can work in Safe Mode, you should be able to download anti-malware scans (use Safe Mode With Networking instead) and work at getting rid of the nasty.
If you have an anti-virus, I suggest you make sure it has the latest virus definitions and run a scan with it. If you don’t have one, many people here swear by AVG (it’s free).
I suggest you also download Ad-Aware 2007 and Spybot S&D (they’re free).
Good luck.
