    The antispyware tool removed Messenger Plus but left behind a reference
    to it in Startup. Go to Start>Run and type (without quotes)
    "msconfig" [enter]. This brings up the System Configuration Utility.
    Look on the Startup tab and find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box
    next to its name, Apply and OK out. You don't need to restart
    immediately, but the next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've
    used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother
    me about this again".
