Win 98 SE spybot start up log, What do you think?

[JOE.G]

The last one, it says shell explore.exe When ever I right click it it gets funny, I also don't get the option to delete it.

JOE.G:

The next time you have the occasion post a text log, please just post the content of the file in the forum or the specific potion of that log you are interested in rather than attaching a file that requires downloading and/or opening a file.

Thank you.

Please explain. Are you indicating that you don't understand the comments about the entry???

... I also don't get the option to delete it.

Running on a Windows 9x system??? If so it is probably a good thing. If you delete that entry on a Windows 9x system you could be in serious trouble. Please read my comments about a similar entry on a Windows 9x system in this thread:

• system startup wont delete one of the entries

JOE.G:

I really didn't what to see another log. I stated:

...
The next time you have the occasion post a text log ...

Particularly a log in its entirety without segregating the specific entry that you were concerned with in response to my questions.

Since you didn't reply to any of the questions I asked, I assume that you understand the nature of the entry, understand the comments associated with startup entry and are just going to leave the entry alone.

If not, I sorry but I will not respond to any other queries in this thread. You have another thread asking about startup entries:

Rather than confuse issues or responses please continue any concerns or questions you have concerning startup entries to that thread.

 

[JOE.G]

Yes this is the entry

When I right click on it the arrow starts flashing and moving all around.
I have to diffrent threads for 2 diffrent operating systems, 1 is 98 SE and the other is XP. This is the 98 SE thread.

JOE.G:

Do not attempt to delete that entry!!!

Spybot will not do it and don't do it manually because you will regret it.

 

[JOE.G]

Ok so it is not a virus? I just don't remeber seeing it there before.

 

[drragostea]

Spybot will not do it and don't do it manually because you will regret it.

Joe, it's kind of important, if you think about it : ).

I remember if you "kill" explorer.exe it'll render you unable to boot the desktop.

If you try/attempt to remove the entry, I doubt you'll be able to boot your OS again.

 

[JOE.G]

I will not delete it, the way spybot sets it up confuses me sometimes. Thanks P.S everything else looks good? thanks
