    Pieter,

    I presume it is O.K. (even wise?) to delete the shellexp.exe from the Recycle Bin?

    Many thanks for assistance so far.

    Hi lozza123,

    I can't imagine it being something you might need, so go right ahead.

    You may find this a handy program: http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=regprot
    Among others, it warns you whenever something tries to add something to the programs that start up at boot.
    You can then decide if you want to allow it or not.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi lozza123,

    The file you sent me was recognized by NOD32:

    G:\Manege (KIJK UIT)\shellexp.exe - Win32/Sheldor.A trojan

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Forgive me for this, but I am a cartoonist by profession and bad puns are part of my armoury. I say with trojans that if at first you don't succeed ... Troy, Troy again. (I did say BAD puns.) :blink:

    Many thanks for help.
