Yeah, did all that, and the splash screen still came up on boot. > check your tasklist for explorer.exe, see if it's there twice... > to remove it, download ANY vnc-server, run it like this; > winvnc -kill > winvnc -remove Ah, worked like a charm, Vince. There were NOT 2 instances of explorer running (although there were when I first began the witch-hunt). Even with only 1 instance of explorer, I was getting the WinVNC startup screen, and this even after I did the regedits Norton recommended. I tried running winvnc -kill and got a message that there wasn't such a program. Reboot and the startup screen's still there. Went and downloaded WinVNC and then ran the kill and remove commands and Voila', no more startup screen on boot. All I can figure is maybe this thing changed the name to something else and I didn't know what to look for. Unfortunately, I *think* I have the system completely clean. Would have been a good idea to find the copy of this virus and send it to an expert and see if this is a variant that somehow morphs the progs name. I've been pretty lucky and avoided all but one viral infection in the past (one of those D*** things buried in an e-mail jpeg attachment.), so I'm pretty naive when it comes to this stuff. Appreciate the help, guys! Without you, I'd still be scratching my butt and getting nowhere.
