UPDATE your antivirus software and run a full system scan.
UPDATE whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.
You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and anti-spyware
software.
Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can
be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves
in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode can prevent those
applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware
allowing for easier removal.
''In safe mode, you have access to only basic files and drivers
(mouse, monitor, keyboard, mass storage, base video, default system
services), just the minimum device drivers required to start Windows.''
Because of that some malware does not load in Safe Mode and is easier to get
rid of.

In news:Od8bJmTTHHA.388@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Frank K. <fkozerski@xxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
Every time I shutdown the computer I get a notice that "Notepad.exe failed
to initialize because Windows is shutting down". The shutdown then
proceeds as normal.
I'm less than a week into a clean reinstall of XP Pro.
My daughter gets the same message on her computer. I am running XP Pro. My
daughter has XP Home. I searched the Knowledge base and groups.google and
came up with nothing.
Any help will be appreciated.
Frank
