Recently, something or someone has been adding files to my startup folder. They are, on average, about 600kb applications (.exe files). I'm not sure how they're getting there. I did full scans with both Ad-aware 6.0 and Norton Antivirus. Both turned up nothing. Using msconfig, I can disable the applications from starting up, but new ones seem to get added when I shut down. It's really bogging down my system, not to mention the security concerns! Any help or suggestions?

What are the names of the programs?

What are the names of the programs?

The most common one is called "morze1.exe". I did a google search on that file and it turns out to be a random program generator virus. My version of Ad-aware wasn't updated completely, so I'm currently updating it. Hopefully this will solve the problem. I'll keep you posted.

A quick Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=morze1.exe) reveals a lot. ;)
