Hello. When I first got my Macbook Pro I used bootcamp to install Windows XP. Everything went fine and has been fine for almost one year. Then about a week ago I tried to run Windows but would get the error message screen and the option to open in safe mode. I tried to open it with every option of safe mode and normally as well, but my computer just flashes a blue screen with text I can't read (screen only flashes for a second) and then automatically reboots itself into the Mac side. Is it possible the Windows side has a virus or some sort of malware? I don't know very much about computers and all of my school programs are on the Windows side, so is there anyway to fix this without completely reinstalling Windows?

Note: I just run a virus scan on bootcamp from my Mac partition and it found 2 trojans. It says the threat names are Troj/Katusha-E. It also found 2 named Mal/TDSSPack-AF. When I tried to even find the files from the Mac side the folders don't seem to exist.

I appreciate any help!
