I was turning off some of the startup services on my computer(Windows XP), and found a program under the Startup tab that I do not remember installing, and have not seen on other computers. The name of this program is =, and the location listed is also =. This made me suspicious this is some kind of malware or virus. Does anyone know about this?

msconfig should really only be considered a trouble shooting tool and shouldn't be used as a permanent way to stop unneeded start ups.
I would suggest using CodeStuff starter. A free program and it should tell you what this unknown entry is, it could be perfectly legal.
