Getting rid of Virus command at Startup

Jet A1,

Here are a few other things you can try for getting rid of it:

Removing Autostart Entries from System Files


A malware modifies system files so that it automatically executes at every Windows startup. These startup entries must be removed before the system can be restarted safely.

1. Open the SYSTEM.INI file. To do this, click Start>Run, type SYSTEM.INI, then press Enter. This should open the file in your default text editor (usually Notepad).
2. Under the [boot] section, locate the line that begins with:
   Shell=Explorer.exe
3. From the same line, delete the malware path and file name:
   DUST.EXE
4. Close the SYSTEM.INI file and click Yes when prompted to save.

Restoring AUTOEXEC.BAT

1. Open AUTOEXEC.BAT using Notepad. Click Start>Run, type this text string in the Open input box then press Enter:
   notepad c:\autoexec.bat
2. Delete these entries created by the malware:
   DUST.EXE
3. Close AUTOEXEC.BAT and click Yes when prompted to save.

Take Care,

Richard
