Startup

When I startup my computer, I get the following message:

Windows cannot find "copy". Make sure you typed the name
correctly, and then try again. To search for a file,
click the Start button, and then click search.

This problem has turned out to be caused by spyware - Winshow. Open
regedit and find "winshow" and delete any key found. Repeat search with
"winlink". Then search on the hard drive for .dll files that are
winshow.dll and winlink.dll and delete. Reboot. Be extremely careful in
the registry. In fact, you might want to get the spyware removal tools
Spybot Search & Destroy (www.security.kolla.de) and Ad-aware
(www.lavasoftusa.com) first. Be sure to update those programs before
running them. I don't know if they look for Winshow yet. It is
preferrable to run the removal tools in Safe Mode.
