Thanks for the input. I will look over some of the sites
that you refer to, and see what happens. No, I won't sue
no matter what.

Better begin with a clean up of your Startup Group...

First pick one of these to identify what loads at boot.
Next, see
whether there is an option in it's menus to disable it
from starting up.
If you really want to rid yourself of it on a more
permanent basis, then
look for it in "Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs".
However, it isn't
often easy to know what is what in there. One of these
URL's may say.
Only last, go to StartUpCop.

http://www.pcmag.com/ 's StartUpCop has "undo", and it is
more than a
combination of "START, Run, MSInfo32, Software
Environment, Startup
Programs" and "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab". It can
even do a
permanent delete. Of course, first see whether the app
has an option in
it's own menus to remove itself from the Startup Group.
This is
configurable, and one may maintain multiple
configurations.

Update definitions & check for viruses, and...
