During the past few weeks, immediately after the initial Windows
screen with the blue bar running left right, and before the logon
screen, I get a blue screen with white messages. There are dozens of
them, all identical, which say something like:
Infection: docs and settings my name cookies/index.dat does not exist
and cannot be removed. (Pause is inoperative and the normal logon
screen appears immediately after.)

It is very important that you post back with the exact, complete
message! It's hard to tell at this moment, but it's possible you have a
variation of what is described he

Please post back with the complete message.

Difficult. Pause/break stops the screen for a second and then it goes
straight to the logon. I just rebooted and all those messages have
vanished. None of the virus/malware programs finds anything.
I'll post again if those messages reappear. There's nothing in the
event log that looks suspicious.
