Kempus,

Have them start with the sticky above and run HouseCall to see if there are any other viruses, etc. in their system.

It could be they are getting the error because at bootup, the Registry or the Start Folder is calling for the file (The Trojan) but the file has been removed, so the OS cannot find it.

Take Care,

Richard
