I've been trying to speep up boot time on my XP laptop. I found a program called "HEL216.exe". Does any one know what it is? I can't find it on the web any where. I've run Spybot and Ad-aware, and it doesn't show there. I've also run McAfee AV, but that shows clean too.

Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks,
Tim

Nope, not familiar. Not a normal Windows file. Could be a virus or something.
My only thought is for you to run STRINGS against the file.

STRINGS will display all clear text in the file. Maybe something in the file will tell you more about it.
