Does anyone know how to remove items from starting up
when windows starts up? Programs such as internet ad
programs. There not listed in the startup folder in
programs.

Hi Matt,

The following is a pretty good overview....

If it's adware or spyway install and run AdAware
http://www.lavasoft.de/
Get the free version

Good Luck

Internet "ad" programs? You have spyware or other parasites on your pc.

Download these 2 products, install them, UPDATE THEM, then run a scan
and have them remove ALL the parasites that they find.

AdAware:

Spybot Search&Destroy:

Don't forget to look for updates before running the scan, there is
update features right in the programs. After you run these programs you
may still have BHO's and spyware, some can be pretty tenacious and need
special tools to remove, CoolWeb for example. Post back if you still
have problems.
