ratchet Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 I purchased a program (GhostSurf, free after rebates) at BestBuy. It is actually a pretty robust anti adware/spyware/virus program, however, I only use the anonymous surfing feature on a sports message board since I'm satisfied with my other security programs. The anonymous surfing feature is the reason I bought it, it was a total auto setup as opposed to some of the free anonymous surfing programs and it works great. The issue I have with it, and it isn't a big deal, since I only have about six things in my startup menu anyway, is that if I've opened it and used it and don't remove it before I shut down my pc, it will always return to the startup menu. How can I edit the file or permanently remove it from the startup menu? Thank You! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shug7272 Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 Many programs have a built in utility to view all start up items and modify as you see fit. I use "Your Uninstaller" for all my uninstallation needs and it has this program built in that works very well. There are free programs out there that will monitor your boot programs and tell you when something is trying to add to startup, let me see if I can find it.

organ_shifter Posted September 18, 2005 CID Share Posted September 18, 2005 Well, I left BitTornado open all night. Those who use it knows that it can be a memory hog if left running for several hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
