URL Open Error!

[Gav]

This error message appears every time I boot my Windows XP
machine. Any ideas how I'd remove it? It appears in a
little box titled FYI and all I can do is close it. I
just want to stop it appearing. Please help.

Hi,

Check: Start/Run/Msconfig/Startup and your run keys and delete it:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

Sounds like spyware or a home page hijacker.

Run these tools:
