Guest SonomaAirporter Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Using XP SP3 and Firefox. Everytime my computer boots up, my browser starts up and goes to the Sunbelt Software FAQ page. Using msconfig, I've searched through all the tabs (startup, win.ini, boot.ini, system.ini) but can't find anything that is causing this to occur. Any suggestions where else I can search to find what's causing this? TXS
Guest JohnB Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: Browser starts up everytime I boot Have you ran some anti-spyware software on your computer? If not, try that.

Guest SonomaAirporter Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: Browser starts up everytime I boot Yes, I did: Spybot Search & Destroy, Adaware, Spyguard. All they found were a few tracking cookies. "JohnB" wrote: > Have you ran some anti-spyware software on your computer?

Guest R. McCarty Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: Browser starts up everytime I boot Download SysInternal's Autoruns, once running it should open to the "Everything" (TAB). Scan through the list looking for a image path item that includes sunbelt - this is likely your startup entry. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx "SonomaAirporter" <SonomaAirporter@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1662CD8F-9CC6-40A8-864E-4E06C10C3339@microsoft.com... > Yes, I did: Spybot Search & Destroy, Adaware, Spyguard.

Guest SonomaAirporter Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: Browser starts up everytime I boot All it found which included Sunbelt were references to the legitimate Sunbelt Kerio firewall which I am running.

Guest R. McCarty Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: Browser starts up everytime I boot All I can suggest is that maybe one of the components of the program is starting in an improper mode - maybe has a / qualifier appended.
