text: Start--> Run--> type in msconfig , hit Enter-->click on Startup tab--> uncheck all programs that you do not wish to run on boot up.\n\nIf you have adware, spyware and or virus...unchecking some programs will be no use because it will automatically create a new file name to boot up. I recommend going into safe mode and run a program called Security Task Manager and delete all programs that are found to be a hazard.
