There is a free program called HiJack This which will show you changes that
have been made to your registry which cause these programs to keep on
reloading. I would advise extreme caution using this great tool but a scan
may well show you where it has established itself and how to remove it. If
you use it with caution and read the instructions carefully it is extremely
efficient. Look for the "info on selected item" before deleting anything.
Hope this helps.

The Software was supposed to be a security software I downloaded from Bank
of America for more security on the account, but once I installed it my
Google browser locked up and became unresponding, so I finally got it shut
down and figured out that if I didn't use Google the computer didn't lock up
or slow way down. I decided to just uninstall it, and when I restarted the
computer and it loaded up all of a sudden now I was getting this
notification that a program has been blocked on startup.... I tried to run
the browser and it just comes up with a window that Google is not
responding, and you click close it just pops back up again and stays in a
loop til I restart it again. As long as I leave that alone I have no
problems, and I can start the google browser from the start menu without any
problem. Just this notification is driving me nuts... I have unchecked it
as you suggested and it works the first reboot... after that it's right
back
again. I figure it has to be coming from some Ini file, but not sure
where or how much is involved with it.??? Hope that helps more.
Whether this was a 64 bit program I don't know, but I would think it was
kind of new coming from the Back site. I can't find the name of it
anywhere now....

The program may not be written for 64-bit. A lot of older programs won't
run properly on 64-bit systems.
Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard while you click r. When the Run
window opens, type msconfig and hit Enter or OK.
When the Msconfig utility opens, click the startup tab at the top and untick
whatever you don't want running at startup. Your old program should show up
there somewhere. Msconfig is pretty safe to use, and won't let you untick
any vital system files.
Otherwise download Mike Lin's "Startup Control Panel". It's free and it's a
bit more informative than the basic Msconfig. It doesn't even need to be
installed, it just runs direct from the file you download.
