How do you stop a program loading up? 1

[meeble3]

In the list of processes there is a file called Mcshield.exe which I don't want to load up every time the computer starts but it does.

I can't terminate it. How do I stop it loading up?

thanks

go to

and download autorun.

it allow you to designate wheter to run something (or not) on startup

this is for the mcafee antivirus. disabling this will also disable your real-time virus protection. Are you sure you want to do this?

also- if you disable this service, and you have SP2, the windows security center will always warn you that your antivirus isnt on.

I don't think you should disable it if it is part of your virus scanner, unless you intend to remove and replace the virus scan with another one.

To answer your question for future reference, try these.
