When I boot my compter up, I get this message: Windows cannot open this file: File: TFTP368. And then later on I will get this error message dcomx.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. I am NOT very technologly advanced and dont know what these are or how to fix them. :upset: FYI-I did find the blaster worm on my machine a few minutes ago and I ran the patch and rebooted and all. But still get these messages. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! :winking:

Dcomx is a backdoor. When you had the blaster worm, you had other things installed the tftp368 is more than likely a tftp server so that hackers can upload and run more things on your computer..

You need to download a good UPDATED antivirus program.

Also if you have WinXP turn on the built in firewall on your internet connection. If not download or purchase a firewall software.
