Everytime windows starts up I have a Window that opens, this has only just
started. the window is C:/program files/Sony I have checked my startup
folder and there is nothing relating to this there, I have run msconfig and
cannot see anything in there. I have run Norton anti-virus and adware and
cleaned the system. I am now running out of ideas. My system is a Sony Vaio
desktop running Windows XP Pro.
Please help it is driving me nuts.
