Manoj, go here and download and install StartupCpl. You can stop
notifire.exe from running at Startup. Unless, it's spyware or a trojan.

If this doesnt work then go here

very good and has a free trial.

NOTIFIRE.exe is probably spyware or some other malware.

Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Update whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.

You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and anti-spyware
software.

Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can
be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves
in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode will prevent those
applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware
allowing for easier removal.
