reboot.exe - Access denied 2

[sedacca]

Can anyone please tell me why I get a Windows message when I log in to Winodws saying "C:\...reboot.exe

Access to the specified device, path or file is denied.

Could it be anything to do with protection against Sasser?

Sounds like you have a startup entry that's trying to reboot machine! But you haven't got access to the file reboot.exe.

Run msconfig & see if there's an entry in there referencing reboot.exe. If there is, just disable it (untick).

Thanks Wolluf. I've done what you suggested, but now Windows says: "Cannot find the file 'msconfig' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.

Download it from here and put it in winnt folder.

Be sure you grab the windows 2000/xp one and not windows 98.

sorry sedacca - wrong o/s! - good catch electronicsfreak.

btw there are other tools like startupcpl and autoruns which can do this job too.
