I have been working on a friends computer for a couple days now, he had xp security 2012 virus/malware. i was able to stop the process long enough to start MWBAM but it caught nothing. So i downloaded it and updated it on a flashdrive and ran it from there, still nothing. i was following the suggestions from

http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=74333&st=0.

so i decided to pull the drive out and scan it from my computer. MWBAM cought a couple things and so did avira. i put the drive back in and ran into a restart loop. i used Artellos (no xp cd) to try and recover the MBR. still, keeps rebooting as soon as it gets to the windows logo. I also tried to use "last known good config" and "safe mode" same results.

i really don't want to reinstall xp, no disks and no registration sticker on the case.

if you could help that would be great! :)

no ideas?
