    Download Microsofts antispyware thing.

    It abruptly tells you everything that's going on even if you don't want to know until you turn it on.

    with the Norton it does that so autoprotect is on or it is loaded up because it has alot of definitions to load up to protect your computer.

    on average how long does it take.

    Even easier is to run HijackThis - it lists startup files, startup reg keys, startup services, and even obscure things like winlogon items.

    www.short-media.com/download.php?dc=69 is our security downloads page - you can find it there.

    Your wr:Dng it only shows you everything you've been looking for, now why didn't I think of that .:scratch: Your quick to the good thinking Primesuspect:thumbsup:

    That is absolutely true. I just wish they had something that showed what everything ment and what it was or does. Now a program like that would be perfect especially if it tells you what program installed it, when and if it was authorized.
