Hi

The file $McRebootA5E6DEAA56$ was at my startup list on the menu! I deleted it and cancelled its booting from 'msconfig'. What is this file? How could I remove this from my system?

thanks

Do you have a sample ?

Look in msconfig and if the file is still present in your system.

Please pack the file(s) in an archive, protected with the password infected.

I have had my comp a very long time and recently ran into a great many virus's/trojans and it somehow shut down my McAfee and I had to uninstall it to get it working again. Anyway, I have never, until now, seen $McRebootA5E6DEAA56$ in my startup menu...
