[jigga_man]

ok i have this program called filefreedom that pops up when windows boots. How can i get rid of it? it will not show in add remove programs , and the only way to close it is to use alt. ctrl delete. but i think it is still running in the back ground. my guess is i need to format to get rid of it, but i wanna check with ppl here before i do. and one more thing, is this program spyware? thakns for your time and help jigga.

Look in the startup folder for something by that name.

Depending on your OS the startup folder can be different places so let me know if you can't find the folder.

Easiest way is to search your C drive for 'startup' this will show all of the startup folders. 9x generally has only 1 but win2k has 3.

good luck,

jiggawho?

hehe seriously though folks

Go to Start -> Run and type msconfig
Click on the startup tab and look for it. If you find it un-check it.

Also head here

and pick up adaware. It will remove any spyware you have

That does not delete it, only stops it from starting up.

I would reccomend getting the adaware and running it quick. May get rid of it.

Is this the program?
