Windows DEP and a DOS 5 File Compare Utility
Windows XPpro SP3 is causing DEP to give me a warning about a "DOS 5 File
Compare Utility" published by Microsoft every time I log into a particular computer. What is this DOS 5 File Compare Utililty? Is this something I should be concerned about? I tried to do a 'google' search on it and didn't find anything specific. I don't like the idea that DEP is being triggered by it. My AV scans every Sun and hasn't found anything. Help! Brad |

Windows DEP and a DOS 5 File Compare Utility
Update:
I narrowed my problem down to just 'one' user logon and the culprit it the "userinit" in my 'startup' of msconfig. if I turn it off I don't get any of the warning messages. If I logon with a different userID I don't get the warning message. How can I diagnose this any further as to what is causing the problem? Brad "Brad" wrote in message ...

Windows DEP and a DOS 5 File Compare Utility
hey Brad,
I was having the same problem as you. One day it just started poping up. Anyways I went into C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Start Menu\Programs\Startup where "userinit" was located to check it out. As soon as i opened Startup, McAfee detected "userinit" as a trojen and completely removed it. havent restarted yet to see if it fixed it but I figured I'd let you know. -Bret ps thanks for telling me where to find it =) |
