note of the path to the executable and remove the actual file. Some viruses<br>
ship with a bootstrapper that will check to see if the virus is running and<br>
reinstall it if it's not. That should get your computer in a state to run a<br>
virus scanner, since many viruses prevent you from doing that.<br>

Same thing happened to me a week ago when booting up the<br>
windows partition for my wife. I believe I went<br>
into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run<br>
in the registry and found what I needed to delete.<br>
