sounds like the nail.exe virus.


go to regedit, then search the directory

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon/Shell

Once you see the value for Shell on the right hand side, if it says "explorer.exe -nail.exe" , or something like that...then you've been hit. If so,I'll post up the fix I've used before.

Don't open Winlogon...just click on it. Then look on the right side, shell will be listed there.

It should read "Explorer.exe" over at the far right (Data Value) , but if there is anything different, then you have a problem.

It's nice to finally have time to venture back over here. It's been a ****** summer with a few personal problems, but let's hope the Fall is a bit better.

Thanks for not deleting my account Justin.
