CrAz3D | I have a program that loads when my computer is started. I do not want it to load. It is written, somewhere I think, in the registry. I have not found it in the registry. I have the code that wrote the instructions into where ever, I need to know how to undo what has been done. [code]WriteProfileSection "windows", "load=" & App.Path + "\" + App.EXEName + ".exe" & vbCrLf & "open=" & App.Path + "\" + App.EXEName + ".exe"""[/code] | January 22, 2004, 11:15 PM |
K | It's writing the Load and Open entries in your C:\windows\win.ini http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/writeprofilesection.asp You should open win.ini with your favorite text editor and remove those lines. | January 22, 2004, 11:49 PM |
Stealth | Start -> Run -> MSCONFIG Plugging each entry into Google will give you a fairly good idea of what it does. If the majority of results deal with pests, it's adware. If they explain what it is, you're set. If nothing appears, it's a virus. | January 22, 2004, 11:49 PM |

SPY-3 | msconfig is best if you want to remove them but it is also wise to create a system restore point before messing with msconfig incase ur an ideaot and mess something up | August 27, 2004, 2:32 PM |
