Dear sirs

times I thought that is possible, but I don´t know how can I verify that. I
ask you that answer me please, it´s very important.

Click to the start menu and choose Run command, type msconfig there,
msconfig tool will be seen and you may check the startup items there, most
of the spywares put themselves at the startup list to be automatically run
but be carefull! The programs listed there are not just spywares! Do not
remove any of them unless you are sure that it is a spyware or not!.
Also some spyware softwares are located in iexplore as toolbars that i
always hate!!!
