Hi!
         I have come across this on a few machines running Win98 as well.
One of the Win updates seems to run all the time. That shouldn't be the
case, and I'm not sure why it is doing that. It is in the startup info when
checking with "msconfig", so it looks like it was put there, but I would
think when run properly it would run at startup once, then take itself out
of the startup options.
         Has anyone else experienced this or have an idea why this seems to
stay behind? Thanks for any info!
