This is what I am trying to do: I have a trojan (Runtime Error 16 @) which
starts when I run Start/Control Panel. When I close Control Panel the trojan
starts. If I have a log application that records starting exe files I think
I have a good chance of locating the culprit. With that in mind, what do you
suggest as a logger?
Many thanks.
