Apvxdwin is part of Panda anti-virus (which I hope you have)
I have no idea what the other three are but they look like random virus names to me. Can you confirm that you are using Panda and have it up to date? ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion, "Michele" wrote: I have several programs listed in the task pane and don't know what they are...can someone help?

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://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q137367 Startup Items http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q179/3/65.asp Startup Group http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q282107 Startup http://aumha.org/a/loads.htm http://users.westelcom.com/rogersr/clean.htm http://web.ukonline.co.uk/sheppard.p/startup.htm http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...tasklist_a.htm http://www.djbdesigns.com/wtvzone/startup.html http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.htm http://www.sysinfo.org/startupinfo.php http://www2.cajun.net/~theriots/blk/start.htm http://www2.whidbey.com/djdenham/Uncheck.htm http://www.3feetunder.com/krick/startup/list.html 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.

OPA(anything) is possible related to OPASERV AKA OPASOFT virus http://securityresponse.symantec.com...serv.worm.html |
