    When using System Mechanic to clean up items form my startup folder I noticed MSCDEXNT.EXE AND himem.sys as batch files which run on startup.

    I found the following post on the web saying MSCDEXNT is a trojan. I run AVG and haven;t had a warning.

    I wanted to ask the experts here what to do, as you are the only ones to trust.

    Thanks in advance for your advice.
