Log in user name displays number of unread emails

[Guest]

I have been using Compaq Presario Laptop, series X1000,over past year. It
came loaded with Windows XP as operating system, and Microsoft works version
7.
Since yesterday, every time I log in, my user name displays that I have
three unread emails on Sancharnet(service provider).I thought, this may be
because I had logged on to MS Massenger,and had not logged out of it. I did
that today, and also updated my Norton Anti Virus, but problem still remains.
What is the procedure to sort out this problem.
Also what is procedure to disable programs which start of by default.
