I did a boot-up scan and found 7 trojans Trojan-w32 [UPX] in WINNT/System32 folder I wonder how it got there. In any case msconfig comes up at startup I looked up at startup files, I dont see any malicious program calling it. What about carpserv.exe? I though it is part of my modem drivers?
The msconfig says that the systme was not started with normal boot up. I do have Linux and GRUB Boot loader installed, It keep asking me if do a diagnostic boot up, or selected Boot up. I dont know. But the problem has surfaced since I accidentaly clicked gammainstaller that was resident in C:/, it started opening a route for Trojans to get in, AVAST notified, then I shut the INternet connection and deleted GammaInstaller. SpyBOT says not spyware now. I believe it is not beocoz of Linux, as I had Linux prior to this. It is more of a nuisance than a problem.
