That's a configuration option. The default is to a scan of the registry, boot blocks, windows and program files directories and probably a few more at startup. You can just turn it off, and boot will go back to normal. As for F-Secure, I don't know much about it, but every time someone brings me a computer to look at, I run the standalone bootable AVG and it finds infected files the others have missed. On friends computers, I ask first and then uninstall their old antivirus and install the free AVG, on random computers brought to me by friend's of friends I don't. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
