| 188911 | 2003-11-03 08:46:00 | OK. McAfee joyfully told me that I have a virus named 'StartPage.W'. It affects IE in a minor way. Said it couldn't clean the affected file and that it would have to be deleted and replaced. The file belongs in c:windows\system and is named tapicfg.exe. Where do I find the replacement file? Had a look on the Windows SE disk but couldn't find it as an individual file. Anyone know what'll happen if I just delete the file and not replace it. (I seldom use IE but don't want to pass the virus on.) |

| 188912 | 2003-11-03 08:58:00 | delete the file to your recycle bin and if you have any problems you can restore it, if everything works ok the delete it from your recycle bin. i think you can do this in 98se |

| 188913 | 2003-11-03 09:36:00 | Goto start->run. Enter "sfc.exe" to start system file checker. There should be an option to restore a file from the windows CD. | bmason (508) | ||
| 188914 | 2003-11-03 09:40:00 | I dont think its a system file I just did a search on google for it and there is a lot of information on this. Rather than me posting what I think is the information that you need, I suggest you do a search on google and choose the solution you think is best for you | beama (111) | ||
| 188915 | 2003-11-03 12:11:00 | that file isnt in my 98SE | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 188916 | 2003-11-03 18:24:00 | have you run sby-bot lately, this sounds like spyware hiding in thw system folder! | ilikelinux (1418) | ||
| 188917 | 2003-11-03 19:19:00 | this trojin is a homepage hijacker, thus the name startpage there is a lot info that can be obtained on it thru google | beama (111) | ||
| 188918 | 2003-11-05 21:16:00 | Yeah, was a spyware thing. The latest version of CW Shredder (1.31 I think) dealt with it in very short time. Cheers | oggy (1250) | ||
