accessing file

[Mike]

As soon as I log on to my start up page, a screen pops up
that claims Windows cannont access file TFTP4014. It then
gives the option of using the internet to find an
operable way to access it or picking one of my own
programs to access it. The problem is when I searched
through my files, TFTP4014 does not exist. Why would this
pop up, and how do I either access the file or keep it
from popping up again. Please help me, as this is very
annoying. Thanks, Mike

This is a remant of a virus. Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

and look for any value that contains the name of the file referenced. If
found, right click that value and select Delete.

You then need to do a Search again, with Advanced Options, search hidden
files and seach subfolders checked.

Actually, you may still be infected with a virus. You need to update your
antivirus software and scan your system.
