xjoyvuna.exe??

I just found this on my startup list, in MSconfig. Cant figure out for the life of me what it is, but I do know that when I start up my computer I get this message.

"Unable to download Application!"

I get nothing more than that. Cant find anything more either. Any ideas?

nothing I can find on it eather,
did you run a virus check
try deleteing it and it will just go into the recycle bin,reboot and see if you still get the error.

also do a file search for it and see what it comes up with.

if it is something you need, you can restore it from the recycle ben

Download and run Spybot Search and Destroy (free) and be sure and get the updates before you do the scan with it.

Is xjoyvuna.exe actually on your computer? If not, I would think that it was probably a virus that only partially installed.

Actually i first found it in msconfig, when I was looking on "startup", because I kept getting that "cannot download app." message, and it had me wondering. i have no idea where it came from, i havnt been on the pc for a while, but so i dont recall ever seeing it before, it just kind of showed up. and Im almost positive that xjoy is it, i took it off, aswell as some other things like quicktime, realplay, some other stuff, and it seems to have stopped, but im still curious as to what it was.
