Default Corruption

I have been attacked and am trying to clean up things. Now on the desktop
there is an icon for MsDos called 'sisetup.exe'. Is this a threat?
Thanks,
Joe

I believe it is for a Trojan and can be used as a server set up, do you have
a server5 software setup on this machine?.

Go through these Cleaning steps:
1... First, try to clean up your caches, Internet files and delete cookies
by doing this:
Click Start Control Panel Double click Network and Internet
Connections Double click Internet Options.
On the IE properties windows you will see these Tabs:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs |
Advanced
Under General Tab clear your History, Internet Files and Cookies.
Then click on Advanced tab and scroll down to under the Browsing Option:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable Third-Party browser extensions (Req Rest) uncheck this box.
Then click on Programs Tab and click Manage Add-Ons and Disable all non
Verified Add-Ons (You should Renable them later one-by-one and see the
culprit and update it or remove it.
