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.


    Upload it on www.rapidshare.com or other server and leave here the download link.

  • 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...
