setup on Startup??

[bsxiong]

hi all,

I don't know what 's going on , but whenever i start up my computer, when it's loading up at the desktop, there is always this setup thing that always runs first, as if it was put on "startup" folder. I used spybot to try to dectect it, but nothing.......

Please help me.

The thing that we need to know is the name of the program that’s calling this up.

Download HijackThis you will find a link in the upper left of this forum under “Helpful Weblinks”
Extract it to it’s own directory and run Hijackthis,
click the “Open the Misc. Tools section” button
put a check in the box “List also minor sections (full)”
click the “Generate startuplist log” button, click yes
now copy the contents of the log and paste it into a new post in this thread.

I'm not the best on hijack files--I don't see anything bad in your log file--maybe someone else does.

Do you still have the Lexmark Printer? Lexmark printer software is real trashy--the tsr's never go away when you remove the printer and the software

[bsxiong]

Yeah, i'm still using my print-trio.

Well, i think i know how i got it. On the same day, prior to that i posted this issue, I was downloading A digital Guitar tuner for my guitar on Limewire. And when i unzip the file, it contains setup.exe. I open it (though i doubt it was it, and i had a feeling it was going to mess up my computer), i open it anyways. (now i feel silly).
Then my computer froze for about 30 seconds. and i instantly realized it. I cancel the installation.

Now i can't delete these files http://pataoxiong.com/dang.gif Whenever i try to delete them, everytime when i restart my comp. it will always be there again.

i think i have a spyware. You think so? Dang, i guess i need to format my comp again huh??

[Gecko]

It looks like you have the new
You also do not have an anti virus program or a firewall running.
Try going to and doing an online scan.
