I had downloaded msconfig a while ago to keep my start up clean. I even tried
deleting Norton from the startup, which is installed and registered
correctly. I might have downloaded trial programs and let them expire, I am
going to go through everything I have and start deleting anything that
started out as a trial to see if that does it. Thanks for your help, all of
you. I will keep you posted.
