Hi

the following three files are in my startup when I run msconfig. I have no
idea what they are. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

dzag which is in the following location c:\windows\system32\dzag.exe
oaop which is in the following location c:\Documents and
Settings\*******\Application Data\oaop.exe
yrnno which is in the following location c:\windows\system32\yrnno.exe

******** is my name in the string above.

I have no recollection as to what I may have loaded on an otherwise very
clean system that would be represented by these files. I also checked the
following site by recommendation, which I often used in the past, to see if
any light could be shed on this:

www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm

but to no avail.

I do get an annoying popup "Jimmys Surf Cleaner" or something to that
affect, which 'offers' to check my system for annoying stuff which might
have loaded when I visit the 'net....as if IT isn't annoying itself! I fear
IT is the cause of one of / all of the above files.

Help please!!!

you need to d'load "ad-aware"and "spybot search and
destroy" (google will find them - both free), and use them

jimmy is toast, just do it!

You can find links to these programs also on Microsoft's web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/twc/privacy/spyware.mspx

This will most likely take care of your problems. You may have been lured
into downloading something you perceived harmless. We all make this mistake
at some time :)
