How come my computer says it is running Windows XP Home edition when it is running Windows XP Pro?
by kalebs on September 30, 2010Q: Recently my computer says I have Windows Home edition when I actually have Windows XP Pro installed. Is there a virus or malware that is messing with my computer. Also Windows Internet Explorer windows keep popping up all the time. I have PC-cillin anti-virus program and have run some free malware, ad-ware programs.

How do you know that you have Windows XP Pro installed? Differences between the two are pretty minimal for someone using the PC at home.

If you still can’t find anything you can post hijack this ( http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/ )logs to this thread.
