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.


In the menu you get after hitting F8, do you see an option called
"Disable automatic restart on system failure"? If so, choose it.
Another way to do this:

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstr...utorestart.htm

This way, you will be able to write down these messages.

The message is:
infection:documents and settings\robin bignall\cookies\index.dat could
not be removed. file is no longer existent.


Try posting this in :
alt.privacy.spyware



There are some very sharp people in there who could probably help you
quickly.

Just include the exact message, your OS and what you already tried and the
whole story.
