Norton picked up and posted the following message: Virus Name: Trojan Horse Object Name: C:\bootconf.exe Not quarantined Norton screen comes on at each start up showing the virus name then a second screen with the object name. Wonder why if Norton detected this why it didn't repair it or quarantine it. Have looked on Norton's home page and could not find anything. Not for sure what it is, but did find file filebootconf.exe while doing a file search. Not real computer smart but willing to try anything to repair it. Norton has been updated and active subscription now and before the virus was detected. Have looked at Trojan repairs but nothing was noted on this perticular object so not for sure if any of them would work.Thanks for everyone's help
