Clean your PC... remove programs that you dont use and those that are loaded on start-up(the ones you dont require)...\n\n1) Go to Start --> Run --> type "msconfig" and press enter...\ngo to the "Startup" tab and deselect the programs that you dont require or the ones you think are not important... Click "Apply" and restart your PC...\n\n2) Go to the Control Panel and open "Add/Remove Programs"... Remove or Uninstall all those programs that you dont use anymore or the ones you think are of no use to you... restart your PC\n\nStep 1 helps in faster startup and step 2 helps clear unwanted programs on the hard disk...\n\nInspite of these actions, if the problem still persists, then you may have to check for spyware/malware that may have downloaded and installed on your system...

You can go to Start->Run and type in msconfig and then go to startup and uncheck the stuff that you don't want to start up when you turn on your computer. Be careful what you uncheck.

By going through this problem one can suspect the same which u said. \n\nThere are few checks u can make\n1. Go to add/remove programmes in control panel and check if any unlnown programme installed there. IF u find one remove it.\n\n2. U can block the programme appearing at start-up. For That go to <start>/<run> and write "msconfig" u will see a small window then select the "startup" tab and see the list of programmes which get activated once u boot the pc. try to find any entry which u dont want to run and uncheck it. Apply the settings\n\nI hope this will do.
