I'm running a Dell (don't buy one) 1.4 ghz with 256 meg ram running Windows XP Pro.
A couple of days ago my 4 year old son saw an aquarium program running in an office superstore. Rather than buy the program I downloaded 3 from Cnet and installed them. I quickly noticed they'd loaded lots of other stuff like pop-ups. 1 of them had an uninstall. I deleted the folders the programs were loaded into and ran Norton Windows Doctor to get rid of anything left behind. When I run MSCONFIG I notice I've still got stuff loading that wasn't there before such as:
eeuneqv
vbabsxs
inetmgr
QuikSearch.exe
li01f948.dll
iel2cde.dll
I think these were left behind by the freebies but how do I know for sure? I know I can find the files and delete them but won't Windows still try and load at startup? How do I get this stuff to not load (get it out of MSCONFIG)?
