Would like to hear from anyone who knows how to deal with
the following message received upon boot. "Invalid option
specified. Type SETUP /? to see options."

Thanks.

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open MSCONFIG and uncheck the item in startup referring to a Setup.exe
file.....

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.
