    Exclamation Compaq Connections lacks the app id separator

    Everytime I boot my computer I always get a box that says Runner File Name (Compaq Connections.exe) lacks the app id separator. I have no idea what this means!!

    I did run hijack and this is what it says...

    If you have already done this part below Do not perform it again, just let me know if you have. Thanks.

    You should print out these instructions or copy them to a Notepad file for reading while in Safe Mode because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

    Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:

    * Restart your computer
    * After hearing your computer beep once during startup but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
    * Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear
    * Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode then press "Enter"
    * Choose your usual account

    Once in Safe Mode, double-click smitfraudfix.exe
    Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

    You will be prompted: "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

    The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

    The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process. If it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.

    A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process. Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply along with a new HijackThis log. The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt
