wintest.exe\startup PROBLEM HELP!!!!

[jholland1964]

So pleased you got everything fixed. Can I ask...
where did you find this info;

Wintest.exe = Backdoor.Rbot.adf

I searched forever and never found this worm in reference to this file name. If I see it again I will know.
I only found it in regards to a LOP infection

AVG Anti Spyware. It was also labeled as a "high" risk infection.

If anyone else with this problem wants a "quick fix" don't bother downloading/installing a bunch of tools, just download AVG Anti Spy, update it, run a scan and it will find and delete it. Just make sure wintest.exe IS running while scanning.

and inside the file in reads:

Steinberg Sequel 1.20 Paradox is a fake installing wintest.exe on your computer.

Read the following link to clean up the mess:

AVG Anti-Spyware did remove wintest.exe for me also
(And found even more spyware, although I sweep my computer almost weekly with many other programs like Ad-aware, Spy-Bot,Spy Sweeper, Hitman Pro 2,...)

AVG Anti-Spyware can be downloaded here:
