Error message at startup

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi,

I'd first want to know what application is calling for that, as I can find
no listing of a file called E_S4l0K2.EXE - it makes me suspicious.

First eliminate any spyware.
What You Should Know About Spyware
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/se [...] tware.mspx

CAUTION!!!!! Before you try to remove spyware using any of these programs ,
download a copy of LSPFIX from any of the following sites:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
(if your OS is Win2k or XP) The process of removing certain malware may kill
your internet connection. If this should occur, this program, LSPFIX, will
enable you to regain your connection.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
