Hi

imagemgt32.exe is part of the virus - you don't want that file back. Have a look in msconfig>startup to see if the file is referenced there. If so, uncheck it and reboot your system.

I had the same problem when my computer booted up. I want to mention one thing. Someone in here wrote to do the same thing in ms config, but instead of just unchecking the box with the virus name, I actually went to the file in the registry that it was pointing to and found it and deleted it and that got rid of my message when I booted up my computer.
