The autoexec.nt file is constantly being deleted on bootup. I have looked for the windupdate file in programmes but its not there, even with hidden files shown.
I have run regedit and found one entry for windupdate and deleted this. I run a fix on read only but the file is still missing on start up.
Run Hijack this but can't find any reference in the log.
Am i missing something else and if so how do I get rid.

Here's how to post a Hijack This log

Download "HijackThis" here
When downloading, choose "save to disk" and NOT open!

Now create a new folder for it, C:\Hijackthis, for example.
After unzipping the file. to C:\Hijack This, you'll end up with the file itself, which is Hijackthis.exe, and that's the one you'll need to doubleclick.'

When the program launches, hit the "Scan" button
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, and save the log anywhere you like.

Now if you doubleclick the log file.Go to Edit > Select all, then to Edit > copy.
Now you've copied the entire text to the Windows Clipboard (this happens behind your back.)

Next, go back to this forum thread, and click "Add Reply".
In an empty area click your RIGHT mouse button, and choose 'Paste' from the context menu.
There's your Hijack This log.

And there is a newer of HijackThis1.98.2 Download it here
Please scan with this version.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
