"Error in C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\17.bin\M3PLUGIN.DLL Missins enrty:UPF".
What is this and how can I get it to stop showing up every time I turn on my
computer?

Thanks for any help.

MyWebSearch toolbar is malware. Your antispyware/antivirus program probably
removed the malware but left the reference in Startup. If you haven't
scanned recently for malware, it would be a very good idea to do so.

To remove the entry in Startup:

Start>Run>msconfig [enter]

This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and
find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK
out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll
get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in
effect, "don't bother me about this again".

Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes.
Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter] and do not stop any services
unless you really, really know what you're doing.
