Hello,

I was "almost" infected with a bogus Windows Virus Alert trojan yesterday. When the icon popped up I used control-alt-delete to get to the task manager where I went to running programs and shut my connection to the internet down. I then ran AVG virus detection and it showed nothing. I then ran Malware for a few seconds then aborted it as I knew I had not updated it for a while. I updated it and ran it. It found several cookie trackers and at the bottom of the list shows two "trojan alert" files. I deleted all these files and restarted the computer. Every thing seems okay, no icons in the lower right hand corner, but now when the computer starts I have a dialog box appear that shows the C:\WINDOWS directory. You can just close this down and go about things but everytime the computer starts this box now appears. I hate to think about "safe starts" and running hijack this but I would like to not have this open dialog box occur. Any ideas or folks I could contact?? I'm running Wondows XP.

Thanks very much for your time...............
