and... and... AND, for the millionth time plus...

The very last thing you want to do is to have ANY p2p filesharing app launch on start-up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER enable such action...

Why ?

Because in the vast majority of installations the "internet connect" is launched BEFORE your 'protection - AV - Anti-Dataminer software' is launched...
Further - frequently - your p2p app will launch before your internet connection is established... possibly... POSSIBLY causing a launch failure of your p2p client.

Bottom line, as they say, is simple... If YOU are not DRIVING, who/what is ?
NEVER auto-launch any p2p client...

YOU MUST BE IN CONTROL, right ?

If not, than - - - - TS for whatever happens !


p.s. As wisely mentioned in the other answer post, your prob could be ADAWARE - which is wonderful - IF you know how to 'drive' it... If you have ADAWARE Pro or SE, and are using ADWATCH, than ADWATCH may be blowing you away... !!!!

Adwatch must be 'understood' and frequently disabled by those who know how this stuff 'really' works !
The above comments re: ADAWARE and such are not meant as any put-down on you, OK ? Hope not !
Just passing on old crap !!!

Ain't computers fun ???

AND, LAST, BUT should have been first... WHAT happens if you start LW after a 'cold' start of your comp, WITHOUT the auto-launch enabled ??? Is it OK and 'normal' ?
