| 713558 | 2008-10-21 02:06:00 | Recently I had a virus or something which made me choose which program I had to use to open a drive (e.g D: ). I had to point it to explore.exe every time. I obtained a registry fix that has cured this. I still have a problem at boot-up though. Every time I start/restart my computer a particular folder is opened on the desktop every time. How can I stop this? |

| 713560 | 2008-10-21 04:08:00 | Funny you mention that. I bought a SANDISK Cruzer USB key which is preformatted with some management program on it. Every time I dock it with my XP PC, the AVAST antivirus goes bezerk and tells me it's detected a trojan. | supersi (8401) | ||
| 713561 | 2008-10-21 04:43:00 | It maybe a removable drive Trojan/virus. They do exist and usually put something in the autorun.inf file, and elsewhere |

| 713562 | 2008-10-21 07:14:00 | MalwareBytes picked up a whole heap of trojans. I scanned the USB drive too, but nothing showed up there. I've just restarted the PC and no more annoying window popup! | supersi (8401) | ||
| 713563 | 2008-10-21 07:38:00 | Do a scan with trojan remover as well It should if theres anything there, reset everything back to normal (select all options under utilities) |
