Startup problems windows 98 with runonce

Every time I start up my computer it locks up. I found that a file
called
Mirka1.exe is trying to startup in the Runonce folder . I kill it
under runonce
by running regedit and then delete the file on my hard drive under
the
windows folder . Unfortunately each time I surf the web the file
reappears
under runonce some times under a different name . I have an
anti-virus program , ad blocker and spyware blaster.
Nothing seems to work .

I really would appreciate any help as this is a very annoying
problem .

Thanks Mason

Update your anti-virus app and then run a full-system virus scan.

Use CWShredder, the CoolWeb removal tool, available he

In addition, install Ad-Aware 6 free edition, start it, click its 'Check for
Updates' link in the app to install updates, then use it to scan your system, and
remove what it finds.

Install, update and run SpyBot Search & Destroy, scan your system, and then remove
the items in RED only.

Download, unzip, and run Hijack This from one of these locations:
http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html
http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...HijackThis.exe
Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the Temp folder, doubleclick
HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Press that, save the log somewhere you can find it (Desktop, My Documents, or
similar).
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.

Copy the log files and paste them into a new post at one of these forums:
