A little help needed, please
Wednesday, June 23, 2004 by Stumpy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have made sure that it there is no shortcut in the Startup Folder, checked the registry, checked for spyware, all is clean, I just cannot find a reason for this to be happeneing.
Also there is now a search Toolbar that appears on the Taskbar (Toolbar is called Search Assistant), this I also have to close
I have checked with 3 Spyware programs plus an online scan by Symantec, system, is clean.
Any help would be appreciated

There's a couple of other things I need to check on.

Using Regedit, change the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENT VERSION\WINLOGON
Change USERINIT from C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe to C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,

It's a real pain to be bothered with. In my quest for a possible solution I found the answer to a problem my father was having with Ad-Aware, also a folder that keeps popping up at startup.

Maybe that's not a bad thing. I've been reading about some of the latest virus/trojan horses which detect your virus program and turn it off. They couldn't do that if it wasn't detectable. Hmmmm.
Of course, maybe one of those pesky things has already turned it off. Double Hmmmm.
