Startup message Windows cannot find C:\Windows\eksplorasi.pif

[Ritesh Singh]

Hello, I have got a Windows XP pc which used to work fine just. Untill 2 days back whenever I started my pc I used to get a error message always at startup saying that: Windows cannot find C:\Windows\eksplorasi.pif
This virus was scanned and removed by my AVG antivirus but it seems that after clearing it though I get the message every now and then. What can I do to permanently get rid of this virus. Thanks in advance

I think that you might have acquired a serious WORM infection 'with high damage potential'. Download HijackThis from here: HijackThis - How to use HijackThis? What it dose?
And also Download Combofix from here: How to remove Virus / Malware using ComboFix

Did you try scanning your pc with malwarbytes' anti-malware because it catches everything that other programs miss. You also need a registry cleaner like Ccleaner. If everything else fails then consider installing a fresh copy of XP on your pc.

You can also try a recovery method. The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.
