Hello friends.

My computer is running win XP prof. Recently my computer has been running
very slow. When I checked on the task manager, I find a program called
efyi.exe running in the allusers\programs\startup group and taking up max
resources.

I deleted the program from the startup, but after restarting I have found
that it appears again in the startup group.

Can anyone tell me what this program is and how to get rid of this?

Thanks very much

Denis
 
denis,
first, click 'start', programs, go to the 'startup' folder and delete the
emfi.exe shortcut, if any. now click 'start', run, type in msconfig, click
into 'startup' tab. simply uncheck the program for emfi.exe, efyi.exe should
be listed in the command tab if your not sure which box to uncheck. now
reboot. after rebooting and a screen appears, check the box and click OK.
if program still starts up, click 'start', run, type in regedit. click
the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER key, then go to Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current
Version, Run.
If you clearly see a key for the efyi.exe file then right-click & delete
ONLY that key. Now reboot.
ps: you shouldn't need to go this far however
