Another nice program that instructs, but does not eliminate stuff is Mike Lin's startup.cpl which is a control panel application that tells you what processes are scheduled to start up at each boot cycle. It is instructive to see the processes that are tasked to start up. From that, you can remove start-up status of applications you do not recognize and then if the system runs fine, you might decide the application is bogus and needs complete removal. I can recall an application from 10 years ago - jupiter something - that I would detect from time to time. Do the search in the registry for jupiter and delete all instances - ruthlessly - and then any variant of jupiter in the file structures. Many malware used to be quite visible and could be seen via careful looking around and removal. Of course, while linux is not completely without malware, it is far above the susceptibility of windows. mao
