Ok, whenever I startup Windows XP, I get this error. I used my anti virus to delete the file (Avast! Pro), but yet windows still trys to load it up on startup. I have looked it up a couple times, what exacly to do, but... I ran this program "Hijackthis" and this is the log from the scan:

Your anti-virus may have delete the file. But it didn't remove the registry setting in the registry.



The error is cause by windows trying to load the file.



It happens to me all the time.

I manually edit the windows registry to get rid of them.



After removing the virus, install crap cleaner (ccleaner) to get rid of the

viruses left over setting in the windows registry.

Delete all the O9 -Extras........ without any hesitation

Delete O11-options group.....

get Win Patrol from http://www.winpatrol.com

its free and a handy little program to control all your start up files.let it run at start up.

seems you are using Sun Java----------- why?It has added a BHO(Browser Helper Object) which hogs resources and considered by Win Patrol as a nuisance

overall its seems Sun Java program is creating the problems on your computer.

get the free Spybot Search&Destroy 1.6 from http://www.safer-networking.org

and scan Sun Java files for spyware/maleware.
