  Need all the help I can get.
  
  Had a PC infected with EXPL EXECOD.A virus as detected by PCcillin 2007.
  Problem is as soon as it has been detected...the programs are all non-working and the only option is to reboot.
  
  after reboot..."error loading operating system" msg comes out during loading.
  cannot even go into safe mode(Windows 2000)
  
  Anyone knows how I can recover the system?
