Hi,

I have looked at my list of startup programs using norton diagnostic tool. The result is below.

My questin is whethter I need all these on startup and which ones can I safely disable so my pc can improve during the startup.

Any help appreciated.

Sorry, didnt turn out properly, bit of a mess. Please delete.

Colin,

That list is quite cumbersome, and difficult to read due to it all being bunched up together. Let's try this:

First download the newest version of HijackThis! from either
Bleeping Computers or
Trend Micro

Next, please make an startup list using HijackThis.
To access the Uninstall Manager you would do the following:

1. Start HijackThis
2. Click on the Config button
3. Click on the Misc Tools button
4. Click on the Startup List button.

Click on the Save list... button and specify where you would like to save this file. When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file. Simply copy and paste the contents of that notepad here on your next reply.

Hello Colin,

Do you still require assistance with your issue? Please post back if you do.
