Startup

I was messing around today and I was just checking to see my start up thingy(ya know msconfig), to see what started up when my computer did, and there was a really really LONG list of things that weren't on there last time I checked, all these different files like Tovvkrc and names like that that don't really make sense, I stopped them from starting on start up but I don't really know what they are, I don't think they could be good. Pleasse help!

You need to scan for viruses, trojans, and spyware. Definitely not good.

Why don't you post what those things that start up? Maybe they are just software for your peripherals. A friend was having problems with his scanner. I looked at it and it turns out that he wasn't letting the scanner software to load up.

I thought that myself, because I know that tovvkrc file came up as a virus before, but nothing showed up.
