XP boot error - loader.exe

Posted: 10-04-2003, 09:43 PM
Everytime I boot XP on the personal side (I have it
divided into two users), I get a "loader.exe error". The
computer says that it has shut down loader.exe. It then
sends an error report to Micrsoft - but I have heard
nothing from them.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Darryl

Darryl,

That's a browser hijacker.

This small application will take care of it. Download the CWShredder tool on
this
page and run it. Be sure to close all browser windows first. This is a
tricky one
and may execute again on rebooting.

You may also considering using "Hijacck This" as a solution:

Be sure to follow the instructions 'correctly' on running it, closing all
browser windows first.

Unzip 'HT' into a new folder. Then double click the .Exe file to run it.
Choose Scan.
It will display a list. Most of the things you see listed are necessary or
required
entries, so don't change anything until you know what to fix.
