If you are getting an altered start message, then I would think you have a good chance
of having a virus. Scan your entire system, but if you don't have one, boot with
a boot disk and run the command:
SYS C:
This will replace the damaged file.
As far as the 'Bad command or filename' is concerned, it is probably a command in
your autoexec.bat file that is trying to run a program that doesn't exist. Check
that all the lines in this file refer to programs that exist.
