Question
Startup Problem

So I have the following running on my pc;
Nod32 anti-virus
Spybot
Ad-Aware
Windows Defender
Tuneup Utilities

(note all of these are UP TO DATE with definition files)

This problem started about 4days ago when Yahoo.com asked me to allow a popup. Now everything went haywire.

Problem 1 is that my browser IE6 changes a bookmark by itself to www.microsoft something... no matter how much I change it back it changes itself.

Problem 2 is that something is removing all the programs listed on top from my START UP. So now I have to manually start them up. No matter how many times I try put them back by the time I reboot.... they all gone again.

1) I ran a scan using all of the above. it fixed my IE6 explorer, but still the startup thing is messed up. I was told to start in safe mode and check all again. NO virusus; malware nothing was found.

Please help fix my start up.
Thx
