[Guest]

When my computer boots up the browser launches. I have checked for viruses
and adware computer is clean as far as I can tell. Any suggestions. Doesnt
launch anything goofy just launches browser as soon as it boot up. thanks

Check in Msconfig for any oddities.
(Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab)
If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then:

Start-Run-msinfo32
Click the + beside Software Environment to expand.
Click Startup Programs
Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy.
Paste that information in your message.

This stands out like a sore thumb.
Disable it in Msconfig.

Sorry, but I really have no idea how it got there. I can only assume
some install added it.
