The message 'remind.exe' comes up on every startup.

[Steve]

Every time I start my computer ths message with a white x
in a red circle comes up:
Windows cannot find 'remind.exe'. Make sure you typed the
name corrcetly, and then try again. To search for a file,
click the Start button, and then click Search.

After I click OK this message comes up:
Could not load or run 'remind.exe' specified in the
registry. Make sure the file exists on your computer or
remove the rerference to it in the registry.

After clicking OK the normal desktop comes up. I searched
for remind.exe but came up with nothing. I need help,
thanks.

I searched "Remind.exe" on Google. It found
that "Remind.exe" is a program that harvests E-mail
addresses and forwards them. It's "Spyware". You should do
a search on Google for spyware removal tools and get rid
of any remnants of it on your machine. Of course, you can
also delete it from your registry manually.

Hope this helps,
Milt
