The standard recovery scenario for something like this is to reboot XP into safe mode, then run the system restore utility to a time prior to your install.
I'd be very concerned about the fact that it was an install of an anti-virus solution that did this, though, because clumsy self-defense against common malware detection software is a common feature of malware. Until you can verify otherwise, I'd consider this system compromised. |
