Chances are high that this is a malware file. Either you uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In any case, a reference was left to the file in Startup. You can remove the reference by managing your Startup.Because you had one piece of malware, the chances are also high that you had others. It would be a good idea to scan. I recommend downloading and installing MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) fromhttp://www.malwarebytes.org . The program is free. (There is a paid version but you don't need to buy it to remove malware.) For more thorough scanning steps seehttp://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_MalwareManage Startup (Make sure you do the malware scanning first!):(for XP) Start>Run>msconfig [enter]This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".How to Troubleshoot By Using the Msconfig Utility in Windows XP - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560 The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
