Stopping Annoying Programs.... from ever starting!
Click on Start Button, Run..., type in msconfig and enter, then click on
Startup tab. Remember
some of
these programs may be associated with your firewall, Anti-virus program
or some hardware
need programs running in the background so be very careful, to help it does
show the path to the
executable that started the running program.
If your not sure it's best to disable
one at a time then reboot to see if everything is working
correctly.
Another place where programs can be
located and be made to start is in the start menu, that is
if you click on START - ALL PROGRAMS you'll see a folder called
Startup, check this aswell
and delete as appropriate.
One other word of warning, you
could have a virus. Run your Anti Virus program
and
if you still have issues I recommend you try ClamwinAV, this is not a
normal
Anti
virus program!
