I have no idea what this thread is about now that you've snipped previous posts from your replies. Are you telling us that you do not have an anti-virus application installed?

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These
include but are not limited to Ad-aware Pro's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, AVG Anti-Spyware,
Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware, NOD32, and Zone
Alarm (Free, Pro, & Security Suite).

I don't use any of those. I can make changes elsewhere that stick.
It's just this one utility that is defaulted to off on boot. I can
re-enable it from the System tray or from the registry, but it's off
again next time. I found one other report of someone with the same
issue, and the answer was permissions. But if the permissions keep
getting reset each boot, I can't think of what else to do.
