I have a file named "eV2tu22f.exe" is my windows folder. Shows that it is
in the windows directory, loads up on boot-up. found this out through
"msconfig." all searches on the web cannot find reference to this file.
does anyone have any ideas what it is and what it does? trojan and virus
scans come up clean.

Try right-clicking on the file and look at its properties. Maybe it will
say who its owner is. You say you did a virus/trojan scan, but did you
also scan for spyware? If not, download and install the free programs
Spybot Search & Destroy from www.security.kolla.de and Ad-aware from
www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs before running
them. Run both, because they complement each other. It is best to run
antivirus and spyware removal tools in Safe Mode.

After all that, try unchecking the file with msconfig and see what
happens when you don't let it start with Windows. If you need more
help, repost, and if you find out what it is, it would be nice if you
would let us know, too.

Good luck,

Malke
