How to tell if you have a virus [XP ONLY]

[Trent]

its something easy without anti virus

Go to START and RUN type CMD
type: CD.. and then hit enter (WITH THE DOTS)
again type: CD.. and hit Enter (WITH THE DOTS)

now type:
CD WINDOWS and click enter
now again CD system32 and click enter

the last step is

type: SETUP and then click Enter

Wait a little bit if you don't get a box asking to move to your setup then you are infected


NOTE:the SETUP who is inside system32 is closed if you are not infected
and open if you are infected
a lot of virus have this format system.exe

THIS ONLY WORKS WITH WINDOWS XP!

Q.
got a message says:

please go to the control panel to install and configure components.

what does it mean?

A.
IT means: DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING YOUR PC IS CLEAN!

Are you sure about this? :trust:
I got that box and I wouldn't say I'm clean at all costs..

[Trent]

Lol im pretty sure, but i got this off one of the sites i go on regulary

And the guy there knows pretty much everything about computers.

Guess i should leave it to the experts :P

I think its only for certain viruses, not all..

But I guess its a way to check if you have a "dangerous" virus!

By the way my pc is clean and after i did it, i closed the program, or do i have to make another something like opening the system32 setup again?
