Basically, you can go in your registry, and check out what programs are loading, that sometimes MIGHT not be in msconfig, or in your startup. I can almost guarantee that if it's in here, and you remove it, it'll fix your problem of LOADING. But you still need to find/clean it out.


Monitor Startup Programs through the Registry


Oh yeah, and you never PayPal'd me for "ButtBusters 7." :p

Ha ha, Kidding, relax. No biggie. You got ATOT to help you clean it up.

im gonna call BS


seriously man, stuff like this doesnt just "install itself"

These things most certainly DO install themselves. Lots of pop-up ads have them hidden. I find them a lot from mp3 sites. in fact i just had one try to install itself the other day, i'll see if i can remember which site it was to show you.
However, adaware is the best bet if you don't know how to do it manually.

Krugger is correct.

There are a few things that should be done.

1. in IE6 go to tools->Internet Options->Privacy->Advanced. click "override cookie handling" and click "block 3rd party cookies"

2. get adaware installed and updated.

3. Get the name of any nasty crap like Huntbar, adultchat, Gator, Save Now, etc.. and do a search on google to see how others deal with this crap.

4. make sure you have a good anti-virus software running.

5. get a free trojan scanner like swat it!

6. don't be afraid to ask for help here.
