Programs could be starting up from the registry also.

Run regedit and go to HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run

You should see a few keys that programs have put in there that launch on startup and hide in the backround. Make sure you know what you are doing though... you don't want to trash your registry!

Do'h - forget that - I did'nt see you wanted help for Mac O/S!

Sorry.... :blink:

Lol, registry... I remember those days. :wacko:

Anyway, can I just ask why in the world you would install Norton System Works?
