Is this a Trojan virus? I found that the Administrator account boots without the
message
coming up and
The registry now has an auto run line in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Run for: sp SZ regedit -s C:\WINNT\sp.dll
I renamed the DLL and now it complains about not finding the file, of course!
Thinking about deleting it (no harm, no foul)
Win98 has a similar Reg Key as this is where all auto start programs reside (usually
Systray stuff starts here, I've found)
What's Jethomepage all about? Is is a new marketing virus to get us all
onto their site?
