1. Start --> Programs --> Startup
2. Registry --> Search for a key called RUN
Should be in HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
On the right hand side, do you see this program?
3. It is running as a background service. Which may be caused by spyware / malware which can more easily be removed with adaware or spybot s&d

Start the simple way.
Start, Run, type in msconfig
Click on the startup tab.
Uncheck any applications that you do not want to run at startup.
Click on Apply.
IF the application returns on a re-boot, it is likely spy-ware and needs to be purged.
Try AdAware from www.lavasoft.de
Or, download Spybot Search and Destroy from www.download.com
