URL Open Error

[REsmith]

When starting WIndows XP, I receive "URL Open Error". It
doesn't cause any problems, however it's very annoying.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this error?

Hi - It sounds like a program that tries to go to a particular url on
the Internet is starting with Windows. This behavior is suspicious.
What does a scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version
not earlier than 2002 and using updated virus definitions) show? Also,
remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from www.security.kolla.de
and Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs
before running them. It is best to run antivirus and spyware removal
tools in Safe Mode.

After you know your computer is clean, if the problem persists please
repost. Be sure to give us information about your system, how you
connect to the Internet (method/ISP), and what you've done to
troubleshoot.
