'Lo all,

I've recently been seeing a number of customer units coming in with XP installed and after they've loaded SP2, the unit will halt on boot, just before getting to the desktop with an error message about shlwapi.dll.

I /believe/ that this is related to a virus, specifically byte-verify. Anyone else seeing this? I'm wondering if the virus causes irreversible file damage to the OS. Shlwapi.dll is an IE file I think, and reinstalling IE has had no effect.
