Unhappy Windows trying to install, when I'm not trying to install it!

Running: Windows XP; came installed on the comp

When I start my computer, it fully loads then a window opens and an error message appears that that C:\WINDOWS\I386\WINNTUPG\NETUPGRD.DLL is missing. I hit ok and then the window changes to somthing about installing Windows XP. I hit cancell and my comp runs fine. But it does this everytime I start my computer.

Go here for print screens of the two pages:
First page (error)
Second page (windows install(i think))

Any ideas?

Figured it out...it was actually a really nasty virus that had copied itself to about 20 files that it created!

Thanks!!

Hi Marlox !

I have the same problem on my computer. This morning I turned it on and suddendly I got this "Installation screen" and I'm not installing anything, and I found a new coomand line on the msconfig. Something related to winnt32.exe

You said it was a virus on your computer. Perhaps I have the same. What antivirus do you use, and if you remember...what is the name of the virus you said you had?

thanks for your help
