| 411202 | 2005-12-08 23:10:00 | Have done a search for startup requirements and I know there have been a few. What files are really needed. Running Win98SE and there are 14 files on the startup window, 1 appears twice which I have unticked: ScanRegistry TaskMonitor SystemTray LoadPowerProfile Avg7_cc Avg7_amsvr C_MediaMixer CriticalUpdate Adata_plugin LoadPowerProfile ScheduleingAgent PersFW NicrosoftOfficeStartup OfficeStartup Viralock Thanks for any help.

| 411203 | 2005-12-08 23:24:00 | Get this (www.merijn.org) unzip hijackthis into its own folder, scan and copy and paste the log here. It'll be better. |

| 411205 | 2005-12-09 09:21:00 | You can safely get rid of: C_MediaMixer CriticalUpdate Adata_plugin LoadPowerProfile ScheduleingAgent PersFW NicrosoftOfficeStartup OfficeStartup I don't know what viralock is without doing a google search... After you remove them, reboot. Otherwise if you suffer a system crash or freeze later on, when you reboot then, the programes you removed from the startup list will be back. I recommend grabbing a program called 'More Properties' - do a google search for it. It's free, small, and allows you jump into the startup list and delete what you want easily + other handy tweaks. Similar to TweakUI. Also - check to see that you don't have any programes scheduled to run i.e. defragmenter... or the ScheduleingAgent will always load up. |

| 411206 | 2005-12-09 10:09:00 | This is the program to use to switch off the unwanted entries, very good, I have used it for years on both Win98SE and Win2K: www.mlin.net |

| 411207 | 2005-12-09 21:29:00 | Bruiser_nz thanks for that. Have just taken over this older pc and Viralock is in there. Google shows it as an e-mail block: ViraLock is an anti-virus software package that prevents the spread of e-mail borne viruses by preventing them from leaving an infected computer. Aimed at individuals and small businesses (a network version is in development) ViraLock encrypts addresses found in e-mail programs so that a virus cannot replicate by sending itself out. It's intended as a complement to current anti-virus software products, and works automatically and transparently in the background. Having unticked the items you listed and re-booted, this little window still appears: Error. Unable to start the application. Invalid class resource. Unexpected failure. OK Ctrl-Alt-Del shows System Config Utility Explorer Avgcc Systray Rnnpp As running. Regards, Lurking. |

| 411209 | 2005-12-09 21:50:00 | I'd have thought that PersFw ie. personal firewall is a must to have run at startup. Another must have is ScanRegistry, with the scanregw.exe having the /autorun switch. This is the util that saves the registry first bootup each day, without that, if something goes wrong then a previous registry can't be restored and you're in the poo! |
