The precise message is:
INFECTION
OCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ROBIN BIGNALL\COOKIES\INDEX.DAT COULD
NOT BE REMOVED. FILE IS NO LONGER EXISTENT.
Needless to say, the file does exist.
As previously stated I have Kaspersky 9, A-squared pro and SAS pro
running in real time with frequent full scans. I also run MBAM weekly
and Panda Activescan 2 monthly.
Heh, too much by far...
Likely an infection was found by one unit and set for
automatic removal next boot...but before booting one
of the other tools deleted the file or deleted it before
another tool that also found it...could do so at boot.
I'd uninstall (not just de-activate) all of them except
KAV9, and see what happens after a few days.
Last mystery is why that .dat is considered an infection,
it could be a renamed file so install this and have a look
inside... A safe file inspector.

PEEK is a Shell context menu extension which
allows you to extract only the text portion of files.
After installation you are provided with 3 different
setups called: Standard, Unicode, Binary Files.
Otherwise you may be visiting some odd site and
picking up a poison cookie...then remnants in the
..dat (guessing)...but still...too many programs.
