Default Error Messages at Startup

I have Windows XP Home Edition. I start the computer and
log into my account. Logging into my account takes a long
time. After I log into my account, I receive five error
messages that say "Could not find 'iexpIorer.exe'." This
occurs everytime I restart my computer and log into my
acount. This is getting really frustrating and I would
like to know how to get rid of it.

Install:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tre...n/MS03-026.asp
As soon as you can!. You are running the 32-bit edition; you'd know if you
weren't, trust me.

If you can't stop your computer from restarting:

As soon as your computer reboots and Windows loads, click Start, then Run.
In the box, type the following:

shutdown -a (then click OK)

For the removal tool for the worm, see
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oval.tool.html

Get a firewall! You NEED one. There are several free ones, including
Sygate ( www.sygate.com )

Then go to WindowsUpdate to pick up the latest updates:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. (You should do this about once a month
anyway, at least)

More info about the worm:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com...ster.worm.html
and http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;823980

You also need good antivirus software - for personal use, AVG 6.0 is free -
www.grisoft.com - set it to update daily.
