Solve : start up pains?

Answer»

on start up my laptop RUNNING windows 2000 does two annoying things:
1) it automatically opens the 'my documents' folder

2) i get a MESSAGE warning "can not find c:\logon.exe

doesn't seem to affect much, but i have to close both before i can get on with things.

any suggestions?

thanksThese are both symptomatic of malware infection; the first being caused by the DlDer trojan, the second by the improper removal of an SDBot worm variant.
Carry out the procedures listed [highlight]in this post[/highlight] and post a Hijackthis logfile here when done.
If possible, zip the logfile and attach it rather than post it.o.k. i'll try that.

Hope you zap that nasty code!
