Everytime I start Xp my computer automatically opens my mcafree folder and attempts to open a file "openme.exe" I erased the second file, but how do I stop my comp from trying to load it. I used msconfig and no luck, I tried looking in my startup folder, again no luck. please help

Try checking the programs/services that do start up. Like maybe it's a setting in your mcafee anti-virus program that's trying to open that program? And why is the file called openme?
The file "openme" is related to a virus that mcafree already deleted. The two are separate problems. The Mcafree folder started occuring after I updated the virus scan, and the "openme" problem started after I recieved a notification to clean an infected file. I've run virusscan and my comp is clear, but the startup annoyance still occurs. I'll try looking at the services to see if that can solve the problem. Thanks for the help. I just really didn't want to re-install virusscan to fix the problem.
