Hi,
I have a friend who apparently got some kind of trojan on her system,
and it has infected her current registry, where the programs "aux.exe"
and "aux.dll" are being envoked and lauched. She's tried deleting
them from the registry, but, after boot, they keep being recreated.
I know that in 98SE you can boot to a command line session, and run
"SCANREG" and have the option of going back to one of your older saved
RBxxx.cab files.
Is there something comparable to do in XP? I've told her to run
MSCONFIG and try to find a program which might be putting the lines
into the registry at boot up. This gal is not really too computer
savvy, so I've been trying to come up with a simple solution. If I
can't find anything, I may just tell her to format the HD and try and
completely reinstall her OS and files. (she has some kind of off the
shelf computer .. a Dell, Gateway, HP ... or similar, and it comes
with CDs to reinstall everything, I'm sure)
TIA
