Hey greetings,I am running xp sp2 on my PC and I keep getting this message at startup cannot find c:/windows sebako-cnzjlii.exe,can anyone help me.

Sounds like a virus that was not cleaned out properly. You need to find what, in your startup is calling for that fiel and remove that entry. Go to Start>Run and type MSCONFIG and go to the startup tab.

Are you sure you wrote down that error message exactly as it appears? A quick Google search on it pulls back nothing. It sounds like possible virus infection or spyware infection. You could try downloading programs like Adaware or Spybot and run a full system scan.

Hey scottgem,thanks for the suggestion,I went into msconfig and deleted all of the stertup programs,but the message still comes back. Anymore suggestion?

It appears that your computer may be or may have been infected with the W32/Brontok-M virus.

Here is one site that claims to have a removal tool. I have never used it, so I cannot vouch for its effectiveness.

If your computer has already had an anti-virus scan, and may have already had this virus removed, you may be experiencing a link reference left over in the registry. A registry cleaner might help. You can download a free one here:

Another good one which you can download for free on a trial basis is JV Powertools:

Going through the registry and removing all references to this might be a good idea, but I would not recommend it if you are not experienced with editing the registry. It could cause your operating system to be unusable if you make an error in editing.
