Good point. Still, it's good practice to include the proper way to
return a PC to its original state. Many people have been burned and I
suspect they didn't factor that inconvenience into the negotiations
because they were simply unaware that they are normally entitled to
it.

That's strong language! It does depend on what was paid for the
computer and whether the lack of a Windows XP CD ( if the new owner
does not have one ) was covered in negotiations before purchase?

HI there,

I am running Norton Anti - Virus and it has reported that i have a
virus
called Trojan Flush M and no matter what I try I can not remove
this virus. I
tried to follow the instructions for manual removal of this virus,
however it
instructed me to restart windows in safe mode and then a full
scan. When I
tried to do this I was asked for a administration password , but I
bought
this computer second hand and have no idea what this pasword is!

Unless the previous owner of the PC set a different password for
Administrator, that password is usually blank.

The bigger issue is the fact that you neglected to perform a clean
install of the operating system when you first started to use this
PC,
which is always preferred whenever someone obtains a second-hand
computer. What is the make and model of this PC? What method do you
have to reinstall Windows? Hopefully, if there is a disk, you
obtained it along with the PC! Otherwise, you was robbed.
