    i was wondering by my HJT log, are there any programs that i can stop from running or that i dont need running? Also where is the folder at that you can choose from a list of what you want to run during start up?

    thanks,

    First, look in Add/Remove Programs and uninstall Viewpoint then navigate to and delete the program files directory.

    C:\Program Files\Viewpoint

    The only processes I notice that’s really unnecessary is the ones below, everything else is pretty much required.

    C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZQKPICK.EXE
    C:\Program Files\Arcade\PCMService.exe

    Scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PCMService] "C:\Program Files\Arcade\PCMService.exe"
    O4 - Global Startup: WinZip Quick Pick.lnk = C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZQKPICK.EXE

    After you complete the above, the startup entries will be removed.
