Windows Script Host and viruses?

[jchchye]

Hi, each time I start Windows, I get a message with a title Windows
Script Host saying : Can not find script file " C:\WINDOWS\boot.ini".
Another problem is whenever I double clicked on my hard disk (C,
similar message appear but now a different file is being referred to C:
\.MS32DLL.dll.vbs".
These problems started after Norton Antivirus detected a virus and
quarantined the files. I'd appreciate it if you guys could help me out
- as to the next step needed.

Thank you.

Delete the file named autorun.inf from the root drive (C:\). Note that this file may be kept hidden *and* Protected. You'll need to configure Windows to show hidden and Protected system files.
