when i log into windows an error message comes up saying
that the netdc.exe file cant be found. does anyone know
how to fix this?
 
Hi Brad,

Looks like your antivirus software caught and deleted a virus. Problem is,
it caught it after it had executed, then only did half the job. It removed
the file, but not the registry references that load it. Start/run regedit,
check under these keys for the string that loads it:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg

Delete the appropriate string from the right pane.
