critical stop sound at xp startup...after dealing with virus

williemi,
The Kaspersky problem is nothing to be concerned about.
It often has difficulty running.

Do you use the GemPlus Smart Card Reader?

Please run a full scan with Norton and let it remove anything it finds.

1) I dont use the card reader (I think it's something my spouse uses on his computer, that he used on mine one time)

2) Norton ran fine; the only risk it detected was tracking cookies (and says it resolved those)

3) MiniToolBox:

williemi,
I think your machine looks OK.
That MiniToolbox process removed any "memorized" Google redirects.

If it's running well, please do as follows to remove all our extra tools:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start OTL (Right click and Run As ADministrator)
Click the button labeled Clean Up

You should be good to go.
