What I did was I downloaded AVG 6.0 antivirus program from downloads.com. I ran a search and found the file that the atartpage.5.ak virus was attached too. AVG wasnt able to delete it. I then proceeded to change the file name to Virus with no tag. Then ran the AVG program again. I guess the change of the filename changed the registry of that file and AVG was able to get rid of it.
I re-named it virus without any extensions, but AVG still could not get rid of it. So run Windows in Safe Mode. You can then delete it and remove it from the re-cycle bin.
Hi Rob
I found by turning off system restore, and then rebooting, and then running avg, I have got rid of it,I hope,it has not showed up again
Regards Charlie
AVG Antivirus removed it from my W98SE system without any hassle, so presumably the later virus AVG sig updates will deal with it OK.
Tired of the startpage.8.A virus then check the website for removal instruction http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.startpage.html This is security response website of symantec antivirus group.

'you need a Trojan horse to create a Trojan virus' LOL , Trojan Horse itself is a Virus !
If the virus are all in the virus vault, you are safe. i would recommend running a scan for more viruses. then if there aen't any you can safly remove the viruses. but before you do, make sure they didn't infect any important files.
your computer will soon break down
