    Problems with command line starting up
    « on: June 26, 2013, 04:40:17 AM »
    I recently got infected with a virus and since my antivirus failed, I had to manually clean up the entire thing. I've managed to restore everything except for a reference to the executable file that seems to pop up as soon as I run "cmd.exe". As soon as the command line is launched, I get an error message indicating that the file I had cleaned up could not be found for running. I've tried going through the "cmd.exe" structure using a hex editor but have failed to discover where these instructions have been appended. Could someone please help me here?

    P.S. If this is the wrong place to post, I am absolutely sorry and would like to be redirected to the right section.
    Thank you.

    Search the registry.  Better still, download autoruns.exe from Microsoft and examine all the entries for file not found and remove them.
