What apps/utils are loading at boottime?

[DavidR]

What other security based software do you have that might run on boot, e.g. Spybot S&D (TeaTimer), AdAware (AdWatch), SpySweeper, PrevX, WinPatrol, ProcessGuard, etc. ?

Have (or did) you have another AV installed in this system, if so what and how did you get rid of it ?

What is the sensitivity of the Standard Shield (default Normal), the higher you have it more files scanned on boot ?
The more applications you have running from boot the more files will be scanned. So ensure only essential apps are running on boot.

I have only avast installed and running.
Other security software are Spybot, AdAware, Sygate Personal firewall, secretmaker, Winpatrol.

it is standar. i hope that founds mode "not scanning files in bootup"

I bet there is a lot more loading at boottime then just the SB mixer.
Please post a HijackThis Log here and let us have a look.

DavidR,
what was that util again that handle boot sequence?
I can't remember the name atm.
Think that will solve it also for this person

[DavidR]

I think it is Startup Delayer http://www.snapfiles.com/get/startdelay.html.

[Eddy]

Yup, that is the one. I really couldn't remember the name

[johannes58]

I are very grateful. Start up delay helps. I are cleaned startup programs usin Winpatrol. It helpes that computer are nearly normal, but startup delay helps more. Tkanks!
