Default Jaoulsst

I keep getting the following error at startup: "Jaoulsst
has caused an error in JAOULSST.EXE. Jaoulsst will now
close. If you continue to experience problems try to
restart your computer." Restarting the computer doesn't
help. I found Jaoulsst in the Windows System but using the
searhing the folders in the hard drives. Jaoulsst.exe is
found in the start up tab when you launch msconfig from
the start menu's run dialog. I unchecked the box and got
rid of the prompt but does anyone know what jaoulsst and
joulsst.exe does or controls?? I have Windows ME.

Yours appears to be the only posting on the net that mentions the file
JAOULSST.EXE which is in itself perhaps suspicious.

When did you last check your system for malware using your preferred antivirus
application making sure first that you are using an updated current set of
viral reference signatures?

This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0
from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot
Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your
system for commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good as when
you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called BHODemon
(http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for unwanted
Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then there is CWShredder
(http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way
of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of
which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp..

Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of
HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a
folder called hijackthis on C: and copy the file you downloaded to that
folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of
Internet Explorer and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log, provided
that it isn't too long, to this thread, otherwise to the HijackThis Forum at
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or alternatively
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable
someone to identify the cause of your problem.
