media player loads automatically

[Robert]

I'm having problems with media player loading automatically at startup.
I've checked the startup dirs and run keys in regedit and can't find how
this program is starting.

THanks

Look at the All Programs> Startup folder. Also review all the settings in WMP
itself, as well as msconfig, Startup tab.

Hi Robert,

This is caused by spyware called iedll.exe, a BHO (browser helper objet).
Read up on it and how to remove it:
