Startup item:"cleaned"??

[Guest]

I have a startup item "cleaned" Command:"cleaned"
Location:SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run. I recently ran
dskchk. Are they related? Is it spyware? I cannot find any info on the web or
in my computer. Can I, or should I remove it from startup programs? If so,
how?

Thank you

Go to Start/Run, and type MSCONFIG then look at the STARTUP TAB, to uncheck
unwanted, checked items

Thanks for replying. While I can simply uncheck as you stated, then I'll have
the 2 messages on startup that I changed things. Even if you tell the
computer not to show the message again, it does. I finally found it in the
registry by checking the box. It is in HKLM, etc and the name is "MPCT". with
data: cleaned. I am convinced that almost no one knows what MPCT is. A google
search only found it on someone's HJT log. I suppose I can backup registry
and delete it. My guess is that it's unimportant, but who knows? Someone
must, mustn't they.
