Hi.....Last week I discovered 3 trojan/spyware files on my computer. They were msshed32.exe, atiupdate.exe and moneyspj.exe. I found all 3 files in safe mode and deleted them. However, when I use msconfig and go to my startup, I still see msshed32 as an option to check if I want it to start up when I turn on my computer. Did I fully get rid of these files by just deleting them? Why is msshed32 still an option in my startup? I have XP Home with SP1. I have run NAV 2003, Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. They are not picking up any of these files. I also ran TrojanHunter with no luck. Thanks.
