Just starting a project to assist in researching a problem wiht a friend's computer. This information that I have is that a few days ago on boot up her computer screen went black for a noticeable time (10 - 15 seconds) an then as the desktop fills in a window opens with the following information:

"Missing shortcut - searching for DTSC.EXE" This has the flashlight icon options for browse and cancel.

after doing nothing fof 30 - 60 seconds the pop up window goes away and internet explorer is opened and a website (all german text) is displayed.

after closing the explorer window all operations seem normal.

This cycle is repeted on each power up or restart of the computer.

Thanks for the quick response. I will need to do this this evening as I am not at the problem computer at this time. I will post the Hijack this log this evening.

No problem. I did some searching in the meantime.
Does that computer have/had IOMEGA backup installed?

Regards,

[mcgoffinet]

just received confirmation that IOMEGA backup is installed on the problem computer.

Thoughts?

That will have to be reinstalled to get rid of the error.

I could find no other solution.

Thanks.

I also had her do a scan of running processes and she reported seeing
leinvanderkelder.exe
this looks suspect to me..

your thoughts?
