Unable to enter windows

Hello, BleepingComputer!

I have an ACER PC running on Windows XP Home, SP2 if im not wrong and I think it can't enter windows due to a virus named NoeNoeJetma.vbs.

I've been getting an error message on Windows Script Host saying something like, Unable to find the script for NoeNoeJetma.vbs but I thought its harmless since it didn't do anything to my PC.

However, today my PC was unable to enter Windows. It would restart itself halfway when the Windows XP Loading bar is loading.

Starting Windows with last known good configuration is not working.

Able to enter safe mode though.

Switch it on again about 4hours later. It managed to get into that Windows Disk Check thing (that screen that usually comes up when you do a forced shutdown or something, not really good with specific tech terms, sorry x.x). When running the Disk Check till about 20%.. Auto-restart again, except this time it can't get past the Windows XP loading screen.


Any solution to fixing my comp without doing a reformat?


ETA: Blue screen shows up once i disable auto-restart, the error message is like STOP : 0x0000007E (0xc0000005, 0x00541065, 0xA8383CB4, 0xA83839B0)

Also, sorry if i posted it in the wrong section, I'm not sure where this should go since im not sure if its due to a virus infection

0x0000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
A system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch. There are numerous individual causes for this problem, including hardware incompatibility, a faulty device driver or system service, or some software issues. Check Event Viewer (EventVwr.msc) for additional information.

I would guess that...since you are able to boot into safe mode, it's a driver problem.

NoeNoeJetma.vbs...seems to possibly be some kind of malware item, I didn't really come across anything conclusive (although various persons refer to it as a virus).

Sometimes...when a malware item has been removed/cleaned...there remains a startup item pertaining to it. In which case, an error message similar to the one you quote might be received.

I suggest using a tool like AutoRuns for Windows - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb963902.aspx to see if this might be the case with your system. You are only interested in the startup items appearing on the Logon tab, do not stray to any other tabs of Autoruns.

Let us know how it goes .

For the noenoejetma.vbs thing... I'm very sure its a virus. I was researching it up abit on google and found it on a forum...Though I couldn't find anything that could help me remove it.

Also,
This will probably take awhile, because my other computer is currently infected with a virus that disallows me to get into microsoft >
