i dont no much bout em,but i have to wait an let all these pop up,then i have closee each one an finally get to go to start an internet.why?do they do this an how can i stop it??

Answer 1

use Ccleaner if you want to stop certain programs from starting but if it is pop-ups like advertising or firefox/internet explorer windows randomly opening then you probably have spyware, if thats the case you'll need to do a heap of scans, to fix a serious problem with advertising spyware on a computer i fixed, i used, Spyware Doctor, AVG anti-spyware, antivir, Dr.Web, Ad-Aware SE, Spybot Search and Destroy, SpywareBlaster (all open source/free). and all those got rid of every spy, virus on the computer...if your going to use more then one scanner, run them separately, if you have more then one of these kind of programs open they won't work properly.

Answer 2

go to your start up folder and remove the programs you don't want to start up when you log in.

start >all programs> start up right click on the program icon you don't want to launch and delete it.

Answer 3

log in to each program that pops up and disable the automatic run option from options or properties

for example in msn messenger:

Tools > Options > General > Automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I log on to Windows.

I dont have any of the other programs but it should be very similar to that except mcafee

Answer 4

try to check on your START UP menu if those programs task to start automatically upon reboot.

Go to START button then PROGRAMS then START UP

Answer 5

have you tried a virus scan??
