I just reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition and after put into Avast detected a VIRUS.
I have a purchased retail Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2 (version 2002) installation C.D. recently, I wiped my hard drive with a disc of scrub and re-installed Windows with this C.D. After all Microsoft security updates, I downloaded Avast Internet Security 7 (trial version). At one point, I did a virus scan and it detected a virus Trojan I think maybe a keylogger. Avast detected it: 'Win32:Crypt-[Tr] LUQ' at the following location: "C:\System Volume Information\catalog.wci\00000002.ps2. COULD THIS BE THIS VIRUS IS ON THE C.D. MICROSOFT?

Hello
During the installation you have selected the option "format"?
No virus is not on the Microsoft Disc.
I suggest that you download and run a full scan of the system to the Microsoft Safety scanner help.

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

How can this be corrected?
Hi KevinRy,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
Unplug all external devices.
Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.
Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:
1.
Right-click my computerand then click Properties.
2.
Click the Advanced tab.
3.
Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.
4.
Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.
5.
Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.
Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.
Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.
Kind regards
Amal-Microsoft Support.

Original title: copy files
I have Windows XP Home Edition and use Outlook Express for my e-mail. Is there a way to copy/send e-mail, favorite contacts and my photos on a Flash key?
Open the address book in the old identity and file | Export | Address book (wab) to any location on your HARD drive that is easy for you. The office is very well. Then drag that to the flash drive.
In IE: File | Import and export | Export to a file. Check Favorites | Next | Next | Navigate to a folder or the desktop and export. Drag the folder in the flash player.
For photos, just right-click on the folder and drag it to the USB and copy here.

Using Parallels, Windows 7 Home Edition and MS Access together.
I need to find an affordable way to run MS Access on my new Macbook pro. My thought is to install Parallels, then Windows 7 Home Edition, Ms Access. This combination work? I see two main parts to this: 1) will be MS Access run on the home edition of Windows and MS Access 2) don't depend on to have MS Office, or just buy MS Access stand-alone? I'll be buying from recent new versions all three pieces of software. Thank you very much.
MS Access will work on any version of win7
You can buy stand-alone copying, you can consider the costs disproportionate to the full range
