Remove programs from start up (47 applications) Please Help?

I have 47 applications running on my start up. I do not know which ones are safe to remove. On Add or Remove Programs (Control Panel) - if I remove programs from there, do I lose them from the pc completely, or just block them from booting in with start up?

    Use windows defender(free download) yahoo search it.... you can disable which start up programs load. It under the options then software something or other....youll figure it out..basically you will highlight the program and click disable. windows defender is also a free spyware removal.scanner program!

    1)click on the start button > click on run > type msconfig in the open area and then click ok.

    2)once there go to the startup tab on the top right, uncheck all unwanted programs and click on okay

    3)restart your computer.

    p.S: if u want to restore the default startup then repeat step 1 andin the general area select normal startup. then repeat step 3. there you go :D

    initially are you working anti virus application & undercover agent ware application. i might run Spybot seek & wreck to discover undercover agent ware & run an entire anti virus test. in case you haven't got any anti virus software, get avast or avg - those are the two loose.
