Status : Offline		My son's computer must have a virus I think because when it turns on, the monitor immediately tells us it's 'going to sleep'.  The computer then turns itself off and on without any help from us.

So.  To save a trip to the shop, I was wondering if there is any way I can hook up son's computer to mine and use my anti-virus to scan and clean up his pc without infecting mine?

Both machines are XP.

Status : Offline		[size=14]Do you have a USB flash drive? MP3 players can act as a portable hard drive to transfer files. On a healthy PC you can download the portable scanner from http://www.superantispyware.com/index.html and put it on the USB drive. Then boot the problem PC into safe mode (usually by hitting F8 when the BIOS screen shows) and try running the SAS scan from the USB drive on the problem PC. If you have any problems running SAS the site has a help forum. You can also take the hard drive out of the problem PC to add it to your healthy PC and run scans on it that way but if you have a USB drive it may be easier to try the SAS portable scan first. I think you can also choose a safe mode with networking option that would alow you to sign on and download the SAS scanner directly to the problem PC.
