    If the CD is legitimate it doesn't have a virus. If it is warez and also has a trojan then you are in a tough situation, but it is fixable with an anti-virus after installation.

    Either get a legitimate copy, or a warez copy from a better source site, or install the bad warez copy and try to fix it.

    Bad warez copy is the files that you download contain a virus/trojan horse in it. Get a genuine copy if you don't want any of this problem.

    jalpari. If its a privated one having viruses then that will make copy in registry and it become very difficult to remove from their.
    There are only two options:
    1. After installing with your f**king cd use antivirus like kaspersky,bit defender,avira, norton. Some of them required to be updated so connect your system with net and then run antivirus. Check out task manager and notice any unwanted process is running or not.
    2. Buy another one or use linux(ubantu). if don't want to spend money. Itz totally free and less prone to virus.:)

    Scan your entire CD, using some good anti-virus program.

    You cannot clean the CD though you found the virus from there, because the CD is only readable.

    The Best option is to install with your CD and then scan ur PC after installation with a nice antivirus fully updated.
    2nd thing is that if u use these kind of suspicious CDs, never use keyboard while log in into your mail accounts, paypal account or net banking, always use your "on screen Keyboard".
    so you'll at least be prevented from keyloggers.
    For on screen Keyboard go to> RUN than type these> c:\windows\system32\osk.exe n ur on screen Keyboard will start.

    Bah...just find a legit copy. They're only like 50 bucks now. You don't even need an XP disk with a service pack on it...just download the SP's later.

    $54.99 at cdsfu.com

    One of the most terrible things to happen to you - have an OS installation with a backdoor built in!
