bikini.exe

[barman]

A friend has this listed in her MSCONFIG startup.

I've unchecked the box, thus presuming it does not startup now. But I can't find evidence of it elsewhere on her system using "bikini" or "bikini.exe" with a FIND command.

Google search suggests this is an unwelcome addition, but I'm puzzled as to how to verify it's still in the puter and if so, how to get it out.

You can use "regedit" command to edit your registry and search for "bikini"...from what i read...it's a worm or trojan or virus....look up on the internet and remove it right away...

Try and get a hold of Ewido Anti-malware Virus Software.....In my opinion, and believe me I have tried most of them, this software will find most of the virus's, spyware that others miss.
As posted above, do a google on the Bikini.exe program and you will see that it is a confirmed virus.....
Hope this helps.
