winlogon

[bbat]

I am getting a message about every one minute from Norton
Anti-virus that I have a "Trojan.startpage " virus in
winlogon.exe adn that it cannot repair it. I can disable
my norton but how do I repair winlogon.exe?

Carey, Do think this might work for my post from 12/26 with the Subject
titled "winlogon.exe App Err -PLEASE HELP" ?

thanks Rob

PS pls read the entire thread, because I'd have to run this across the
network to this (WIn XP Pro - NTFS) PC.

The script that Carey referred you to is to remove left over entries in the Registry from removing a different virus. Symtantec's removal instructions for your virus are here.

Hi Doug

This isn't related to my issues (at least not from what I've read). (pls
read post from 12/26 from me).

Also, this PC (like all of mine) run LiveUpdate (religously) the first time
(per day) when they hit the internet. AV definitions were current, all the
way up to 12/25. Plus a remote scan of the entire PC found nothing (from a
server running the Corporate Edition with all updates).

Since Norton is telling you have the trojan, I would at least check their instructions. If the trojan's EXE file is running/in use, NAV may not be able to delete it, hence doing the scan in Safe Mode.
