A recent occurance has taken place. When I log on to my computer, a Norton
Antivirus alert comes up that says there is a suspicious script in a file
called, "windows timer.hta". This file is located in C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Windows Timer.hta. If I
delete the file, my internet browser does not work. If I move it out of this
folder, I avoid the problem. I am concerned, however, with the issue of it
containing malicious script. I do not know what this file does, if it is
needed or if it is indeed malicious. I have XP Professional with Service
Pack 2. Nothing has changed in the recent past that I am aware of that would
cause this problem. Any suggestions would be helpful.
