chkdsk at boot'.I have a bad habit of calling this scandisk which leads to
confusion!

>> Hi

>> If I schedule a boot-time disc scan to run on drive C, upon next boot I
>> get the following activity when the computer has completed the scan and
>> reboots for the first time:
>>
>> Outlook 2003 will not open in normal or safe mode
>> Virus/malware scanners including Panda (including the online scan),
>> McAfee,
>> NOD32, Adaware and Spybot search & Destroy will not operate although they
>> will load
>> The Control Panel cannot be opened
>> Task Manager shuts down if I try to view the Applications tab.
>>
>> After another reboot (without a scan) everything runs correctly.
>>
>> Event log shows no warnings logged.
>>
>> Zone Alarm reports nothing unusual has tried to access the Internet
>> during the problem period.
>>
>> Any other non-AV programs I try to run do so with no problem albeit
>> rather more slowly than usual.
>>
>> Obviously this is some sort of virus or malware but after running all the

>>
>> The problem only occurs on a boot time scan of the C drive - if I
