If you already removed spyware from your computer, then there is still a
reference to the malware in Startup. Go to Start>Run and type
"msconfig" without the quotes. Look on the Startup tab and find the
culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK out.

If you have not done any maintenance, then you should:

1) scan with current antivirus ("current" means a version not earlier
than 2002 but using updated virus definitions); 2) remove spyware with
Spybot Search & Destroy (www.safer-networking.org) and Ad-aware
(www.lavasoftusa.com). These programs are free, so use them both since
they complement each other. Be sure to update these programs before
running, and it is a good idea to do virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode.
