Password Virus? (On XP)

[MainFramed]

Anyone know of this "Password" Virus? And how to cure it, i have PC-Illin 2005 and have ran it, this is still happening though, If i leave my computer sit for a few minutes it locks me out (puts the welcome screen on) with a password prompt to get back in..😕

you probably have your screen saver setting so that the screen saver comes on after a few minutes. and you probably have your screen saver setting to lock when the screen saver comes on or something. or you probably have some kind of setting that says "lock PC after 5 minutes of inactivity"

i personally don't know where this setting is, but I know when i had an internship a few summers back our PC's had this option set on them.

You've obviously tried just clicking "cancel" at the password screen?

or try to click Ok..... and don't put a password in...

Reinstall or restore?
