I am utilizing Windows 2000 and can't get rid of Generic Rootkil.d!rootkil and another trojan/virus on my computer. I can't run McAfee in safemode. I can't run Malwarebytes®Anti-Malware, Stopzilla, and PC Tools either.
McAfee detects the trojan/virus and deletes it but when I restart the computer it comes back.
Any suggestions on how to rid myself of this?
I had the same infection on my 2 laptops, but was able to get rid of it....I'm assuming because they utilize Windows XP
