    Google is your friend,

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=scratchcard

    and then

    http://www.netmag.co.uk/news/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=11269&subsec
    tionid=484&subsubsectionid=0

    While either of these gives me a quick pointer to the exact cause .. it
    seems obvious that either someone has downloaded/played the scratched
    lottery junk and/or a Trojan/downloaded crap app has installed some startup
    tool/service to connect to a scratch pad site[s]. Most probably to get click
    through money but maybe just a vandal.

    You have no choice bit to start cleaning up .. take it of the net and see if
    you can get it started without crashing, go from there [ hidden directories,
    auto-loading services, etc.]

    good luck,

    /don

    Request for info...
    Experiencing several machines that, when booting, show a screen
    displaying "scratchcard". The machines then display MANY popup windows
    until they lock up. We're not having any luck finding information from
    the antivirus sites. Does anyone have any experience with similar
    symptoms?

    Thanks in advance and have a great weekend.
