cmd.exe is not in my task manager. It probably is being used to run a program. You need to figure out how it is getting started. |

Look in startup. You can do that by either getting our program, Speed Startup ( http://superwin.com/speedstartup.htm), and having it scan for startup items or type msconfig in Run and look in the Startup tab of System Configuration. |

Something has to start it. Maybe the browser starts it or some other program. |
