Many times a virus, or an honest program, will have an entry left in the
various "start" areas within the operating system when they are removed. You
can use msconfig to locate this now bogus entry.
Click on Start | Run
Type in msconfig
Press enter
Go to the startup tab. Look through there for an entry that seems like it is
associated with what is trying to start. If you find one, or more, remove
the checks from that/those particular entries. Then close msconfig and
reboot your computer. You will get a window saying that you have started the
computer with selective startup. No to worry. It is normal at this time. You
can choose not to see this message again, when you know that your problem
has been corrected.
