I followed the guidlines posted for removing the trouble files, but although the computer was set to 'show hidden files', it was unable to find the file in the system32 folder (though i could definitely see it was there). i double checked spelling, etc. but nothing changed..

any advice would be greatly appreciated!

i pasted the scan list below- i believe (was told) that the troubled file is:
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [AOL Instent Messenger] WUNAUPKK.EXE

Patience please, it is the weekend and we all have lives here



C:\WINNT\system32\WUNAUPKK.EXE

My good friend Mr. Google says that this is a random file name. It matches up with the following startup Registry entry:

O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [AOL Instent Messenger] WUNAUPKK.EXE

So, armed with that file name, very carefully follow the procedure in the removal guide written by TheSMJ:

Let us know how that works.
