Using XP SP3 and Firefox. Everytime my computer boots up, my browser starts
up and goes to the Sunbelt Software FAQ page. Using msconfig, I've searched
through all the tabs (startup, win.ini, boot.ini, system.ini) but can't find
anything that is causing this to occur.
Any suggestions where else I can search to find what's causing this?

TXS

Have you ran some anti-spyware software on your computer? If not, try that.

Adaware has a free version:

Yes, I did: Spybot Search & Destroy, Adaware, Spyguard. All they found were a
few tracking cookies.

Download SysInternal's Autoruns, once running it should open to the
"Everything" (TAB). Scan through the list looking for a image path
item that includes sunbelt - this is likely your startup entry.

All it found which included Sunbelt were references to the legitimate
Sunbelt Kerio firewall which I am running.

All I can suggest is that maybe one of the components of the program
is starting in an improper mode - maybe has a / qualifier appended.
