I\'ve run adaware, spybot s&d, and they found nothing, but now every time I start my pc, I get the following boxes come up.

Has this fixed the problem? How do I get rid of the boxes coming up everytime I restart my comp?

I\'ve run my antivirus software, and nothing was found.

How can I be absolutely sure that the problem is now fixed, as so far (touch wood) no pop ups have appeared?

anything in start - all programs - startup?

have you done a registry search for msxmidi? search file explorer? is it a running service? checked msconfig?

No offense to Cerebus - but if he is freaking out on this forum, I doubt it occured to him to do registerty searchs and MSCONFIG.

Just my observation.

In startup, just something called Exif Launcher, I did a search for msxmidi in the registry, and the following came up.

Just out of curiosity, is the msxmidi.exe filed used for anything legitimate? If deleted, will certain things cease to function correctly?

Well, thankf for that contribution, but like I said, nothing like this has ever happened to me before, so I\'m a n00b at it I guess.

I did. I deleted the file, now I\'m getting this error message periodically.

What is causing this now?

sysfader is a transition effect, basically makes your menus and such fade out... I personally wouldn\'t use that in the first place (bogs your system down and uses up to 15% of your CPU cycles). Looks like you may have deleted something you shouldn\'t, or have more that needs to be removed. I take it your computer is still functional?

reinstall your os and use Firefox instead

Or use XP with SP2 if you can\'t let go of Internet Explorer

Yeah, pretty much.

Someone gave me a link to a free virus scanner called AVG, and every other time I run it, it keeps finding thigs called A0137535.exe, A0137536.exe & so on.

I\'ve no idea what they are, and I did a search for them, but nothing came up. Are these real viruses, or is it just finding slightly suspect files?

If they are just files it is finding as a bit suspicious, are they files that have been placed on my hd externally, or are they ready existant files that have become corrupted?

spend an hour saving files you wanna keep to CD, then reinstall your OS, deleting your your HD when it prompts you to. It is much less of a headache, I just did it.
