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 http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...CWShredder.exe http://aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip 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. Ad-Awa http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ Install, update and run SpyBot Search & Destroy, scan your system, and then remove the items in RED only. SpyBot S&D: http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download 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.
