New Connection Wizard keeps popping up upon opening WinXP.

Expand Post »
I previously tried 2 programs (TuneUp WinStyler and AVG7 virus checking programs. They were uninstalled. Now "Wizard" tries to help me everytime I open! Help!! I tried Search and deleting all I could + Add & Remove to uninstall.. Nothing helps; I even tried deleting them in the Safe Mode. Any advice?

Do those continue to show up in search after being deleted?

Have you run any AV or spyware?

Re: New Connection Wizard keeps popping up upon opening WinXP.

Thanx for all the help I got from dccarnes.. this am I found the 2 culprits that hung around even though I thought they had been uninstalled (I used the Add/Remove XP, then Search then right click delete on them), but they were like imbedded fleas. Any rate, dcc mentioned someone he contacted said try Device Manager..(in yellow) and Shazam!! there those 2 were until I removed them..No more unwanted Hardware Wizard screens since. Thanx again.
