Thanks. It's not a huge issue, but more of a pain. My prior experiences
of
trying various monitoring and protection software like Norton and others
were that they bogged the computer down sometimes and were constantly
requiring you to upgrade, download, or something. Plus, my computer has
always run fine while my wife's computer which has every protection device
known to the computer world installed, is always slow and bogging down.
They are basically the same computer (HP 8000) running on the same home
wireless network.

Oh, well. Time to clean it up and add some antispyware, I guess.


Start Run Regedit

Look under: Hkey_ Local_ Machine Software MicrosoftWindowsRun

Get to know what's in there (runs at startup) so you can tell if something
gets added.
Most new crap will hide THERE, not in the statup folder of your start-menu
