Running Applications

[Craig]

I have two applications that run automatically when I
start my computer.
1. GetIPorHostName
2. RunDLL32
Does anyone know what they are for? Should they be running
on the system? If not, how do I get rid of them?

Thanks for you help.

They shouldn't be running on your system. GetIPHostName sounds like a
winsock2 based executable which returns your fqdn. Rundll32 is a dynamic
library encapsulator that runs a dll as an application.

Use http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBA/tip0000/rh0016.htm to locate the registry
entries which launch applications via registry. Its just a question of
identifying whats legal and whats not.
