    Comp is taking a long time to reboot. I think it may have to do with the items in my start up. Is there a simple way to remove the unnecessary items? Do I really need Quicktime in the start up? There are a few others I don't know what they are as well...

    Startup Control Panel Standalone Version 2.8 is available here at MajorGeeks in the Process Management section. This stand-alone version runs without any installer.

    Startup Control Panel works well at "getting rid of start up programs" and has a very easy to use with its intuitive interface. This program allows users to control and configure which programs run immediately after the computer boots up. It also allows the user to quickly and easily restore any programs that have been disabled at start up.

    Good Luck!

    If you do not know what belongs there, (in the startup listing) and what does not, it would be a good idea to run the malware sticky as seaside suggested. You can find it and detailed instructions here, http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 Good luck and keep us posted.
