    Windows have several location where one can specify what should start at bootup.

    Startup.Cpl might help you in finding out how Telnet is being loaded. And let you disable it.

    This is likely spyware doing this.

    Make sure you have the latest virus definitions downloaded for your Anti-virus program, also get Ad-aware and Spybot 1.3. Reboot into safe mode and run all three.

    Also, installed the Startup Control Panel as Snakefoot said is also a great idea.
