1197327	2011-04-26 22:30:00	I'm running avast5.1 (latest update) on a win2k system. Avast automatically starts and puts an icon in the system tray when m/c is turned on and booted. How can I prevent this from occurring. There is no command for this in the startup folder in the documents and settings/users area. Cheers, I can suppress the sheilds from operating but am unable to prevent it loading at boot time.	jupiter1 (2578)
1197328	2011-04-26 22:58:00	Uninstall it? Heh. Otherwise there's probably a Service and/or a Run key entry for it.	inphinity (7274)
1197329	2011-04-26 23:33:00	Uninstall it? Heh. Otherwise there's probably a Service and/or a Run key entry for it. HI, How and where do I find them and what do I do with them when I do find them please. Cheers,	jupiter1 (2578)
1197330	2011-04-27 01:32:00	Hi, I t appears that in CCCleaner on the "tools/startup" page there is an entry to stop this automatic startup at boot time. Unfortunately it will not allow me to disable it. I get an error msg ..."access denied" Any thoughts from anyone ? cheers,	jupiter1 (2578)

1197333	2011-04-27 02:06:00	Hi Speedy, yes, but avast slows everything up so much, even with the shields dis-abled.	jupiter1 (2578)
1197334	2011-04-27 02:09:00	Uninstall it then. How much ram is on it?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1197335	2011-04-27 02:11:00	Uninstall it then. How much ram is on it? 2 Gig DDR300 Oop's that's DDR400	jupiter1 (2578)
1197336	2011-04-27 02:15:00	Must be a few programs in startup if its slow. Whats the specs of the system?? What CPU is in it?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
