missing shortcut?

2427 Views 33 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Flrman1
When I reboot the pc it has many popups that say missing shortcut error.
some of these are:
meroz5.ink
01bunyeu.ink
dnxv34uz.ink

I looked this up, they are some kinda graphics file. I also found them in startup folder. So I deleted them, and when I reboot they are back.

Also when I hit control alt delete....they are in my task manager running?

I have Win ME, plz help if this is familiar problem! :confused:

i dont see a program called corel draw no :(
in the startup folder either.
i just want them gone!
i tried reinstalling windows with no success.
there is a program called MS Picture it 2000, And inside it there is an option to choose pictures and Corel draw is in the list, but not on the pc.
My mother had this pc and I think maybe she deleted Corel Draw, is this possible?
well i cant find them anywhere else but in startup, so i remove them to recycle bin and delete. But they come back. Did I mention they are in task manager as if they were a running application? as well as other things i dont recognize like atiupdate5, winoldap, sysalert, loader, starter and many many of these ink files that are in startup.
i think ati is for video and the desktop background she has is looking funny, blurry. but that is another problem i guess.
i did a search for these on c and found the actual app file. in C/windows, so i deleted them, but some that i searched for did not have an application file just 2 shortcuts.
now i am getting this lovely blue screen, fatal exception.
yes i rebooted and i dont see them no.....but there are still 10 or so that come up
as well as 2 windows....one says update and another ontop of it says status, but nothing in the window just the header.
WGEWNA63
T2D3G05V
E79L74LK
MORZE5
OVEDKM3Z....some of these are listed twice and at startup they have .ink for extension.
that was just a few....there are 20 or more.
the ones that i searched for on c and found an app file, i deleted. they are now gone
but there are many that do not come up with an app file just shortcuts. and yes they are in the startup folder.
yes....they say .ink at startup
ok I have run a program called Stop sign threat scanner and it has found many many things....trojan flood, backdoor irc agent. and many other spyware threats. So I am going to attempt to format this hd. I have doen this once before and with success, so wish me luck. Think you very much for yur help Longhair. Much appreciated!
Also I am curious if copieing favorites to a diskette will infect the pc after a format? Since they are simply url adresses i am not sure?
i am now trying to format, i ran fdisk and trying to delete primary partition it says....could not change partition because disk could not be locked??? help plz
ok here it is

well the script worked....I no longer have those missing shortcut errors.
Thank you very much for the intelligent help! :)
hopefully this parasite is gone.

Now one other thing.....I have already run Adaware to remove spyware....but there seems to be a \lot of popups and lag when trying to pull up browser.

Can you recomend anything better for removal?

these things are in my task manager:
DW
bargains
eanthology
defscangui
loader
starter
sys_alert
msbb and a couple others i beleive should be running.
if these dont belong....how do i remove?

Once again ty very much....good show!
