Re: Real Player Malware
Speaking of bad softwares and the annoyances associated with them, I have a technical question for anyone who can answer them.

Real player, and Quicktime have files that start when the computer starts.

QTTASK & such...

I disabled them in Start>Run>msconfig.

They are still in that list.

Is there any way to completely remove a process that is in that list?

I've had these and other more serious spyware diabled in that list, but they are still showing up there which is just annoying to say the least, and with the Real Player and Quicktime task, they randomly start themselves again in msconfig without me authorizing it.

Any way to disable them completely, or remove them without removing the associated program (Quicktime or Real Player)


Also, since Real Player kinda stinks, but I still have vids in .rm format, can anyone suggest an alternative?
