What do you mean?

so when the computer starts IE starts a blank window?

 

[iambored]

i log into my name, IE pops up with my homepage


i think it's only happened since i installed SP2

 

[MedNez]

Could you post a log with HijackThis? You might have something loading up on startup.

Tick those, close any browser windows, fix checked and reboot. That 'Adstartup.exe' entry is what's causing it

 

[iambored]

thanks!

is it good enough to delete them now, shut down the computer at the end of tonight and then start it tomorrow morning as usual or should the computer always be 'restarted' when things like this are done. this is a question i have wanted answered for some time.

 

[MedNez]

It'd be best to solve it straight away, by rebooting, making sure it's gone, then turning your computer off when you want, and going to bed.

If you were just doing a routine scan, you could just leave a reboot until later - it's more important to reboot when you're trying to fix something in particular.

start > run > msconfig > click on startup tab
