Herm,

LOAD.EXE is supplied by the "w32.nimda.a" virus.

An extract from McAffee's page:
-------------
It may copy itself to the WINDOWS SYSTEM directory as LOAD.EXE and
create a SYSTEM.INI entry to load itself at startup:
Shell=explorer.exe load.exe -dontrunold
------------
Change the line to
Shell=explorer.exe
