hehe Have you had a look at the start up tab in mcsonfig? I find there are sometimes crafty things that seem to get past ad-aware What windows are you running btw? |

it's XP, and i looked in msconfig, all looks 'ok' but i'm not 100% surre of what it is i'm looking at half of the time. |

run /windows/system/msconfig goto autostart tab and deselect everything +restart |

use another browser does help a lot. quite a lot of scripts exploit IE bugs |

It's unlike you'll ahve anything of great importance in the start up of XP If your unsure the only start-up items you absolutely need are: ScanRegistry TaskMonitor SystemTray LoadPowerProfile Wich I don;t think appear in winXP msconfig any hoo Mail me the list you have if you like and I'll let you know if there's anything you really need |

Do I need all these, pOgO? - ccApp: antivirus-something - ADVCHK: antivirus-something - Updreg: uh, not sure, but related to windows update maybe? - Rundll32 AudCtrl: soundcard shit? -Logi_MwX: mouse - NvCpl: no clue... - hpztsb06: printer - Neowatch Startup: me firewally Any of these I don't need?? |

I'd leave the rundll app. All the rest you can get rid of if you don't want them auto starting when windows starts. You can always go back in and re select them if they cause you any probs |

The mouse will probably need to stay too actualy, not sure if it will totally stop working if you untick it or not |
||||||||

|

yeah, but it's kinda smart to have your firewall startup automatically, innit? I know I'll forget to launch it every time I start the machine.. And the virus shit, I guess that's part of the autoprotect system, so that'd be stupid to remove too, right? And, will my printer function if I remove the tick? . |

I have a ridiculous ammount of crap running on start up, makes my pc slow and crap but I don't know what is important and what isn't... o_o |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like I said, if you know what they are it's up to you if you want them to autostart If your on Broadband I'd reccomend you have the firewall autostarting cause you're perminantly connected, but if you only have dial up there's no real need for it if your not online |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
broadband here - think I'll leave both antivirus and firewall at least.. but there are two Rundll apps.. what about them? |

disable them and see what happens, if something stops working re-enable them I don't think they're anything major to do with the OS |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can disable them, no problem. anything important will switch back on by itself. leave out stuff you know that you have, like firewall (and rundll32) windows/updrg is crap as far as i know, the files for windows update are in sys32 |

those shitheads make the files look like system files |

"at one point today some box trried to get me to download something. I'm just currious, wtf is this :( " i get these too - just an advertising cookie, usually for fucking Gator. do you use ad-aware? it's free - it might help. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
adaware does remove gator cookies but not the program. you need spybot for this |
