XP BootExecute File Corrupted?

[Rubicks13]

Hi All,

For some reason I got hit with some spyware and viri this morning. I was able to clean everything out but noticed that the BootExecute file had a weird value. See below: Running XP SP3. How should I modify the data?

Thanks for any help!

Just checked an XP SP3 and a Vista machine and they both have the same value:

autocheck autochk *

OODBS

Here's a REG file to fix it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]

"BootExecute"=hex(7):61,00,75,00,74,00,6f,00,63,00,68,00,65,00,63,00,6b,00,20,\

00,61,00,75,00,74,00,6f,00,63,00,68,00,6b,00,20,00,2a,00,00,00,4f,00,4f,00,\

44,00,42,00,53,00,00,00,00,00

Very nice Thanks Turge! Just fixed it and rebooted all is back to normal!

No problem.. actually, I just realized that I have O&O Defrag installed on both machines so you can probably get rid of OODBS. It's probably the Boot Time Defrag (which I don't have enabled so I'm not sure why it's there)
