Hi,

I hope someone out there can help me?

Norton flashed up a virus warning 2 days ago and put the file sysinit32z.exe into quarantine.

Now my computer takes longer to boot up after the password stage. When the desktop appears there is a warning message saying something like ...the search did not find the file sysinit32z.exe try searching again...

What do I do?

Thanks for your help

Hi,
Thaks for the help.
I ran HJT again and spotted what I was looking for, I must have missed it in my haste. All is ok now.

First of all- welcome to DaniWeb

We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your questions and HJT log in that thread.

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:
