i don't know what the file is but if it were me i'd back up the essential info on the computer and reinstall xp. put nav back on and update it before opening any applications. maybe also put on sp2 before opening it back up to the internet.

>Anybody know anything about this file, Mvour. Whenever I start Windows I get a dialog saying something like "Cannot run (or access) this file. Select it from a list or from the web". Now I don't know what this is or what it does and am chary of looking it up, in case it's viral in nature.. I cancel the dialog and Windows proceeds apparently with no ill effect.

>Recently I had a bunch of viruses that got in, and Norton couldn't delete them. At this time, Explorer wouldn't call up my dial-up and I had a load of screwing around. They were found on my HD but I couldn't get rights to delete them (how does this work, by the way?). But I found ref to them in the registry and deleted them there. This problem seemed to start after that.

>Incidentallty, there have been several occasions when Norton couldn't delete or quarantine certain viruses. The report shows them as residing in, say \Windows or \Windows\System32 (et al), but they often can't be found (even with show hidden files), e.g. Adwares like iefeatsl.dll, image.dll which have got hold of my browser and I can't change the home page. I've followed the Norton steps to get rid of them, part. in the registry, but I can't find any mention of the in the registry.
