ntuser.dat file anyone ever heard of it? Please Read

[Jeremy]

I recently updated a video driver for my graphics card.
For some reason it didnt take to well to XP so I removed
it (restored). After that, I noticed this software on my
computer by n-CASE (180solutions.com) that I have never
heard of, and I have no idea how it came to be on my
computer. After going through the un-install process for
that (which is quite lengthy plus seems to go in a
circle), I was searching for any of its remaining
software on my computer. Well, under My Documents and
Settings I found two .DAT files that I assumed was
associates of this n-CASE company. I was able to delete
one of the files but the other, ntuser.dat, I wasn't able
to delete/access. I am not even able to scan it with
Norton Anti-Virus. Now ever time I boot up XP I receive
the message "This system has recovered from a serious
error....send error report or dont send" If I send,
Microsoft doesnt have an answer for me. I have un-
installed the most recent of my hardware/software and I
still receive the message. I beleive this to be a virus
of some sort because I cant scan it. Does anyone know if
this is part of XP or is it a new virus? BTW, I had
friends in from Australia (who used my computer) and all
these problems occured shortly after they left....

thanks for reading this long problem

ntuser.dat is your user profile, it contains stuff about
your user account and settings. Depending on what the
other file you deleted is/was, you may need to try
creating a new user account and using that instead.

You should be able to scan the ntuser.dat file by logging
in with a different user.
