My computer has begun loading the address book even before the Windows login screen appears...

I use Win 98 and have looked in msconfig... I see no reference to it. I have also looked in the registry under:

Local Machine-software-microsoft-windows-current version-run and run once

Current user-software-microsoft-windows-current version-run and run once

Any ideas?

Have you run a VIRUS check?

That is one of the tricks the LifeStages.worm and its variants uses.

UPDATE... I even moved it to a different folder and it still started up... how can that happen?
