Virus?
C:\windows\wininit.exe
C:

then after a period of time the screen displays the shut down option.
Sound like a virus? I tried to look it up on Norton and Mcafee but found nothing that directly pertains. One more thing, the hidden files at the root include a BOOTSECT.F16 modified today and there is no BOOTSECT.DOS as there should be. I ran FDISK /MBR and nothing happened.
There are no unusual files in the root of the drive or the windows directory. There are however several hundred FFFF~1.TMP files in the C:\WINDOWS\. I figure they are just temp files that need deleted since they are dated differently.
Please advise.
