Start up Menu problems About a week or two ago, my internet surfing has started to become a pain because everything seems to moving in slow motion. So I went to see what programs were actually opening when I start up my PC because a month or 2 ago, I hd to go and close this program called PCSNOOP that kept popping up. Well not there abour 20+ programs that I have never heard of showing up in my start menu. Is this the sign of a virus? Or is there some other explaination? Either way, what can I do to solve this problem.
Thanks for your responses!

You can start by downloading Spybot - Search & Destroy from Download.com. Just enter spybot in the search box and you will be able to find it. just be sure to update the program before you scan your machine.
The virus checker Grisoft AVG is free for personal use from http://www.Grisoft.com

Updating Spybot:
* Go on-line.
* Run the program.
* Click the online button (at the left side of the program window).
* Click on the Search for updates button (near the top of the program window).
* Check everything but skins, then click on Download updates.
After everything downloads, you can then configure the program (start with the defaults) and run the scan.
