ronaldalau Posted October 25, 2012 I installed SAS and ran a full scan. It found a bunch of adware cookies, and one trojan. After hitting the 'Fix' button, I rebooted as instructed. But now Windows XP hangs on the startup screen (splash screen). I can boot into safe mode. What do I do now? R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
