I have a program that loads when my computer is started. I do not want it to load. It is written, somewhere I think, in the registry. I have not found it in the registry. I have the code that wrote the instructions into where ever, I need to know how to undo what has been done.
WriteProfileSection "windows", "load=" & App.Path + "\" + App.EXEName + ".exe" & vbCrLf & "open=" & App.Path + "\" + App.EXEName + ".exe"""
It's writing the Load and Open entries in your C:\windows\win.ini

You should open win.ini with your favorite text editor and remove those lines.
Start -> Run -> MSCONFIG
Plugging each entry into Google will give you a fairly good idea of what it does. If the majority of results deal with pests, it's adware. If they explain what it is, you're set. If nothing appears, it's a virus.
Thank you K for a simple yet direect & helpful answer.
Start>Run>MSConfig>Startup Fixed it
msconfig is best if you want to remove them but it is also wise to create a system restore point before messing with msconfig incase ur an ideaot and mess something up
