Virus and unable to restore !!!

Hello all,

Ok, I've got major problems. I think I've been infected with a virus. But
firstly I'm running Windows ME with pre-installed McAfee's anti-virus
software.

Ok, on start up, the following message appears

" the following file is missing or corrupted : C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

The following file is missing corrupted : C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32.VXD
Type the name of the Windows loader (e.g., : C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32.VXD)
C>

"

Then I try to restore with the restore CD, and all I get is a loop, it tries
to load, then turns itself off, the turns on tries to load, then turns
itself off .

Please let me know if you require additional information.

Thanks

Match

make a windows bootup disk on another computer, copy protect it. boot up on
that, and format your hard disk. now run the restore cd. this should get rid
of MOST viruses.

do you have a pc like an HP or IBM? i know in the past HPs tech support have
been great with my parents, so could help you?

sounds like a problem with ME or a hardware conflict

If all else fails, make sure you have an emergency start floppy, reformat,
reinstall Windows THEN put your restore disk in and use it, assuming that
you have a system that came WITH a Windows CD along with the restore CD. I
realise some dont come with both.
