msrexe

[Bip]

Hello, I have deleted msrexe.exe due to a trojan virus.
The file was found under D:\WINNT\system32. Now when I
use my computer a small window appears when i start my
computer titled "mIRC expl32" and it remains open and the
message says "unable to resolve IRC server". Can my
windows/computer operate without this file?

Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer
Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup
Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path
to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

Thanks Dave! Is the msrexe file an essential file for my
computer and/or windows? Will my computer be negatively
affected without this file?

You don't need it. msrexe.exe is part of the trojan
