Problem in windows XP with find search option...

rohanbee · 20-11-2004, 01:09 PM

I have this weird problem in windows XP home edition, whenever i go to the find/search option to trace some file or something it automatically starts searching for office instalation files. I dont have office on my PC and i have never installed it before either , So why is this happening???

It gets quite irritating and i have to cancel it with 4 to 5 clicks...........after which there is no problem.

My anti-virus does not detect any virus although it did detect this at-risk file called searchuploader.exe and it does not get deleted. How do i delete this file as Norton cannot manage it ???
