Autoexec.nt deleting

[Guest]

I am having a issue with a PC that is running Windows 2000 Professional. This
PC is running a application that needs the AUTOEXEC.NT file. When the PC is
rebooted the AUTOEXEC.NT file is gone. I am not sure what the issue is, I
have run Corporate Norton Antivirus on this PC and didn't turn up any virus,
plus I have check it for spyware. I am at a loss with this PC, any help would
be appreciated.

Are you running WinPatrol on this machine?


http://www.WinPatrol.com

apparently it can incorrectly identify the autoexec.nt as spyware and
remove it, they have an updated version

Run Spybot

and Spyware Blaster over your system.
