mcaffee32.exe

[Poor Richard]

Is mcaffee32.exe part of SP2? When I run Norton Anti-virus to scan my
computer for virus, it identifies mcaffee32.exe as containing the virus
w32.spybot.worm and it cannot fix it. I have manually quarentined it, then
when I reboot, I get an error message that it cannot find it. I've tried to
contact Norton (Symantec) but always get lost in the maze of trying to get
to the right knowledge base area. If mcafee32.exe is not a part of SP2, how
can I stop the boot from trying to start it? Thanks for the help.

mcaffee32.exe is not a system file. It's the actual virus file. You did the
correct job of deleting this file. You just need to remove the references
from the registry or using the MSCONFIG.EXE utility (switch to Startup tab)
