Error Message at Start-Up

[CVB]

I installed Norton Antivirus. It identified some 400
files that were infected and repaired them. (I don't know
if it put them in "quarantine")

I now receive the following message upon start-up of
Windows XP Professional:

Install X

Could not initialize installation. File size
expected=166518, size returned=166912.


OK


Any suggestions?

Check your startup settings to find out what is causing this.
Applications that start with Windows can be found here:
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
See also "How to Troubleshoot By Using the Msconfig Utility in Windows
XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310560).
Note: this could well be caused by that NAV removed the virus but did
not fully clean-up the system, so that the "Install" reference is a
leftover of the virus infection.
