My computer (not this one) is missing a file called GStartup
My computer has been down for about a month because this file is missing.
If any of you have this file, please IM me at QBSneak5. I would be VERY grateful.
Thanks

The sooner you get rid of ME, the sooner you can be a happy person...I'll look for the file when I'm at school tomorrow (one unlucky pc has been cursed with ME) and upload it for you to download. Is it in the WINDOWS directory? An exe file?

Maybe the file is only on the HP Pavilion. Thats what I have.
Not to rush anyone, but I need the file within the next couple of hours.

is the error you get

GStartup.lnk is not available to you, try again

or something similar?

From what I've seen that file is installed by Gator, a crappy adware/spyware program that tracks everywhere you go on the net.

Look in your startup folder and see if you see anything about gstartup or gator in there... if so remove it.

While you're at it drop by www.download.com and get ad aware. It's a great program that will search and get rid of all the spyware and adware that kazaa and other internet apps secretly install on your box.

I searched for GStartup and got this:

It is definately gator that is causing your woes:

Ya, it's in a file called GAIN. If I can get rid of it, will my computer be fixed?

Looks like it... Gain == gator... Not sure if you'll be able to remove it through the add/remove software utility... Alot of spyware is devious and has no way to remove it... So then you are left with installing ad aware (which is free from download.com) and having it purge all the spyware on your system. Which is good to do anyway. Less popup ads is a good thing.

Start -> Run ->Type "msconfig"

Go to the startup tab, uncheck that file and anything else that you don't need to start on startup (AOL, AIM, Kazaa, etc.) and restart the computer.
