Hi the startup from spybot has more stuff then the MSCONFIG start up, Is there anything I can uncheck? Remove My System is slow to load. thanks
Hi the startup from spybot has more stuff then the MSCONFIG start up, Is there anything I can uncheck? Remove My System is slow to load. thanks
You probably see more stuff in Spybot's startup list than in msconfig because Spybot shows the winlogon entries.I don't suggest disabling them unless it's necessary,people have had problems with that in the past.Were those the ones you were looking at?
Yeah those and some of the other ones, what do you think any of those that I can get rid of? thanks
The winlogon ones,it's best to leave.In fact,if you try to disable them with Spybot they will probably not stay disabled,if Spybot 1.6 does it the same as Spybot 1.5.2.
Here's a list of some of the normal winlogon entries from my XP computer.They're all legit,and should be left alone.

Just as well to leave the other two winlogon entries I see in your list,as well.
Other than the winlogon ones,you don't really have an overabundance of startup entries.

Open Spybot,and go to System Startup.Please read the description at the links I posted,and decide if you would prefer the two items I listed in quotes above to be run at start-up,or if you would like to disable them.If you do decide on disabling those two,it'd be best if you highlight the entry with your mouse and then choose Toogle,or uncheck them,but don't use delete,in case you change your mind later.
what is the go to assist? The PCTVOICE what is that? What about the ctfmon? Spybot is saying it is a virus? but evrything I see seems to say it is legit but a resource hog?
I remember that the processes such as:
- igfxtray.exe
- hkcmd.exe
- ati2evxx.exe
All have to do with a Intel Chipset/Graphics Card. I have a ATI Radeon graphics card, so these startup entries will appear in my Startup Manager.
As for 'ctfmon.exe' it's usually for [foreign] language devices. Usually it is active if you are using another language other than English.
