This was refered to as a Trojan that has to do with a dial up program. About six months ago I had a problem with a dial up. I got a good virus software and it removed the trojan. But at start up there is something still trying to launch the dial up. The box that comes up says "can not find openme.exe" and when I hit ok the box goes away and my system. I am trying to find a way to keep that box from coming up. Any ideas? Thanks again. I appreciate your time James C
