11979 2001-04-29 20:52:00 Since reformatting my hard drives I get three windows
saying 'finished winini' each
time I start the computer.
How can I stop them appearing ?

11980 2001-04-30 09:21:00 There is a virus with various names like w32/Msinit
It sets up a file \windows\system\WININIT.EXE
Remove this file
There is a real file \windows\wininit.exe leave this alone.
Then at start/run type msconfig
Click on the startup tab and you will see ticked boxes with something like load=wininit.exe
Untick them and hopefully on your next boot up there won't be any more winini's
Have a look on the MeAffe web site virus information for more help on this pest!

suggestion was not the answer.
I don't have a WININIT.EXE in
Windows.sys.
I use Norton anti virus so don't think it is a virus.Thanks anyway.
