whenever i turn on my computer, i get a pop up that says...
"Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\inet2003\services.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click Search."

After i click "ok" a second message saying...
"Could not load or run 'C:\WINDOWS\inet2003\services.exe' specified in the registry. Make sure the file exists on you computer or remove the reference to the registry. "

I have run microsoft antispyware which found an inet2003, i deleted it but i still get this. Also, i have run a registry clean up thing and it heals alot, yet still this comes up. Any ideas?

    i think this sounds very worm/spyware related(klez?). had a pc with error messages on this 'inet2003' 2 months back.

    run cwshredder first,followed by spybot and adaware to clean anything up and finish it off with an antivirus scan.

    I have done all three and nothing comes up that can fix it. Yes, it did heal some other spyware and random bad things on my comp, but nothing related to the startup box... However...there was something spybot found but could not remove, Winhound.


    But anyway, any other ideas on how to get rid of this pop up box?

    You need to remove that entry with HJT and delete the inet20003 folder.
