I recently had a virus which I believe I got rid of. However, everytime I start up my computer and internet explorer memo comes up and says application "b.exe" has an error and needs to close. When I click read error report, it tells me this:

"The error was likely caused by:

W32/Gaobot.worm.gen.u - Win32/RBot.3eu!Worm"


Can you look at my Hijackthis file and tell me if anything is out of place?
