Could this be a virus?

On 2 computers in my office, whenever I login, I get a black window with dos-like typing that reads "p: was deleted successfully" and then it disappears. This doesn't happen to other users and I think maybe there is an email worm or something. I've done some searches but nothing is coming up.

THANKS!!!

It sounds like you have something that is deleting a mapped disk drive at startup. The disk drive letter is P. That is what the P: stands for.

For example, see this: http://www.jsifaq.com/SUBS/tip9000/rh9099.htm

Thanks so much. I found out that it has something to do with the shared computer network here. It's not a virus, but only some users have this error message. Apparently something is being updated or something like that. I'm really not in the know here. But thanks for your reply
