I recommend also using AVAST! and Kasparsky to scan, and if anything is found that they cannot remove, look to symantec and mcaffee for removal tools. If all else fails, format and reinstall the operating system. Also, get the critical security updates from ms, run a hardware firewall, turn off all java, java script, activex, flash, etc, etc, etc, NEVER use IE or any MS mail or news client, and daily curse the name of billgates [curses cencored]. -- Those who try to hide behind Godwin are the real net-nazis.

Guest Newbie Coder Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: C:\WINNT\TEMP\WIN477~1.EXE error????? Quaestor, I am sure that its running on startup plus, the process is running when you try to delete it CTRL + SHIFT + ESC to bring up Task Manager Processes tab End the process Now delete the file from the TEMP folder Next: Click START | PROGRAMS | STARTUP Is there a link to the file there? If so, delete it Next: START | RUN | Type 'regedit' (without quotes) & press ENTER Naviage to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Highlight the RUN key in the left pane. Is there a shortcut to the that file in the TEMP folder? If so, right-click the entry in the right pane & delete it Close the registry editor & reboot when ready -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "Quaestor" <no.spam@my.place> wrote in message news:139pm625vps3oc3@news.supernews.com... > Pegasus (MVP) wrote: > > >"Desperate NEED HELP pls" <DesperateNEEDHELPpls@discussions.microsoft.com> > >wrote in message news:FCBE3A93-7CB2-48F6-A8A3-170284C50928@microsoft.com... > > > > > >>HELP!!! > >> > >>there is this black window thats pops up with the following message " > >>C:\WINNT\TEMP\WIN477~1.EXE " and another window with the following message > >>" > >>16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem.
