'Dust.exe' ??

[Christopher_h]

Hi,

I manually removed a prog called Dust.Exe (and a couple
of its associated files) from my Win XP Pro laptop coz I
read it was a virus/worm.

Now when I reboot, I get the error message on
startup "Windows cannot find the file Dust.exe

Any suggestions pls ?

open up regedit and look at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon key
You should see on the right "Shell" with the entry of "Explorer.exe
Dust.exe"
right click on it and modify then remove the dust.exe.
