home version

[Mr_Miyagi]

xp home...on a dell pc connected through blueyonder cable to the internet.

"something" is running after startup has completed and is putting an .exe on the desktop - it is a "porn?" link i believe.

i have bhodemon running and have stopped all the extraneous crap from loading.

i have uninstalled most of the "unnecessary" software (thru control panel)

i have sytemsuite 5 installed and this includes a virus checker,etc. while there was a virus, there isnt now.

where can i find the line that loads this file?

its a "ggrrrr" time for me at the moment.... :)

System restore turned off?

Checked msconfig?

Virus scan in safe mode disconnected from the internet?
