If you are running XP, you should already be at SP3. You need SP3 in order to use WDO. It is an offline, bootable virus scanner, so it is safe in any environment.

If this is a business, and you are connected to a domain server, you should contact your IT department.

Upgrade your systems to SP3. Is there a reason why you won't/can't update them to the recommended service pack?

WDO does not require admin rights. Anyone can boot a computer from a CD/DVD/USB device and run the scan.

Regardless of your IT department's technical prowess (or lack thereof), only they can solve domain issues - because normal users do not have the necessary rights to work on domain issues. If you don't have admin rights on the local computers, you can't uninstall or install anti-virus applications.

We can't help you circumvent that - you need to talk to your IT staff. If they can't help, you need to talk to your immediate boss and tell him/her about the problems you have with IT.

Not all offices have IT staff. My architecture office being one. We have a consultant we use from time to time when we need help, but otherwise I take care of IT duties simply because I happen to be more knowledgeable about it than others in the office. But I have no professional IT training and rely on forums like this from time to time.

other than removing virus in boot, is there an portable virus that is fit in xp sp2 and can run without admin permission
