Spyware. And, if you don't understand the registry, then don't touch
it. I know this seems arrogant, and I apologise for it, but if you
don't know what the registry is and does then telling you what to look
for, and what to do when you find it, could lead to total disaster if
you make a mistake - Windows is very unforgiving of damaged
registries. It's best left to experts. The registry is where
Windows (and other software) stores critical operating parameters -
and where nasty programs, like the one you may have, set up entries so
that they automatically start when Windows does.
