View Full Version : Underisable program runs at startup

I was setting up a hime network and disabled my firewall,
and somehow a program got installed that runs at startup
and messes with my browser, etc.

How do I view and remove programs that automatically run
at startup. I don't see anything in "add/remove software".

Thanks, Bob

Start, Run, "msconfig".

You could also look into running some spy ware removale
programs such as ad-aware and spybot. These are both free
and work good. do a google search for download locations.
