    WinPatrol shows an item called Boot.exe in my Startup Programs list.

    A quick search with Google doesn't look to good. Should I simply "Remove" it with WinPatrol or?

    Sorry, I just saw where the file is,

    C:\ACER\EMPOWERING TECHNOLOGY\EPOWER\BOOT.EXE

    so I suppose it's legitimate.
