I am gettign some error messages that is written below:
"lsass.exe - Unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because SAMLIB.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
It seems to me that it is a decendant of the sasser worm and because of that I am not able to boot the computer properly. Is there any other ways to fix this problem other than repairing the system with the original Windows XP disc? Thanks for any information.
You can try to repair the Windows XP by using its boot disc or can even try to upgrade if you want. But remember that it will still not remove the virus. Since the computer is not booting up then you can first try to repair and then when the computer boots up, then install an antivirus software in your pc and then scan for virus and remove it.

You can run a dll scan tool which will scan your system for dll files an replace the damaged one. For that first you will need to boot your system in safe mode. For this first boot in safe mode by pressing F8 in the start. And then download the file from internet. Now go in System32 folder of your windows and replace the file. Then boot in normal mode. Your system will start working. If this does not work then run a repair process from windows bootable disc.
