Why you should not be using MSconfig to control startups!! http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=149804 Many people frequently use MSconfig as a long term solution to control startup processes and services. You will also see many websites condoning use of MSconfig and teaching you how to use it for controlling startups. This is a very bad idea for many reasons. 1. MSconfig was designed to be used only as a temporary debugging/troubleshooting tool. It was not meant to be used for long term solutions. 2. MSconfig does not show all startups anyway. 3. If you uninstall programs while they are being disabled with MSconfig, they will not be uninstall properly and you will have to resort to manual registry editing to properly get everything removed. MSconfig will leave orphan entries if/when installed software is uninstalled while under the control of MSconfig . When/if MSconfig is turned back to normal startup, it will give errors on boot due to those orphan entries. 4. MSconfig and Services: o If you uninstall programs while you have some of the programs services being controlled with MSconfig, the programs will not be uninstall properly and you will have to resort to manual registry editing to get everything properly removed. o When you uncheck a service in msconfig, you completely disable it. If you uncheck the wrong one, you may not be able to restart your computer. o It is safer to control services by using Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services (this runs services.msc). 5. You can lock malware items into your registry that you may not see anymore until some point in time where you switch back to Normal Startup mode and now you can cause total reinfection of your PC with the malware. You need to remove the malware not mask it. If you still don't understand why not to use MSconfig, see what Microsoft writes here: The key point is stated as such: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310560

That's Vundo alright always recognized buy those 8 random letter files----> agjpkuyj.dll, & fegenope.dll, Follow bpgreen advice and let us know.. Vundos not a serious infection and in most cases is easily removed and it does cause pop ups. Running out of date Java is one of the ways this infection gets in... Removing out of date java versions from the add/remove programs should be done only keeping the most current version----> Java Runtime Environment 6 update 11 I think is the most current version.

I now have a related problem. He downloaded the 15 day trial of SuperAntiSpware. I'm sure they will ask HIM for money. He doesn't have credit card & I'm not about to give him my number. What I need to know is after he finish scanning can he delete it & get the totally free one.. I know sometimes bits & pieces are left so U can't get it to work if U install it again. Can I download it.. PAY for it & send it to him as an attachment. Do U think it will install OK if I do that. We have done that before with other programs but not for something already on the computer. I also don't want to mess mine up but my thinking is if I don't run it I'll be OK. Sorry to be such a bother. You & others there have been a lifesaver to us. Dar
