Re: All of a sudden, IE6.1 starts automatically upon user logon

How do I go about finding such bad entries? I never mess up manually with
the registry.

George's idea about something malicious is also a possibility but: 1. I have
never had anything like that because I am extremely careful what I put into
my computer and it never happened to me before (yes, I know there is always
the first time...). 2. I did some thorough scannings after such agents.
