am using xp and everytime i log in a screen pops up asking me to register for Supanet !
i have to click on "register later" to close it

now its starting to drive me up the wall cos i have tried deleting it by using "add/remove programs" but it just wont budge???

any ideas?

ok do this click on, start, run, then type,msconfig, then hit ok
now go to the start up tab and find supanet, now take out the tick
and click ok you will be asked some questions just say yes then restart yer PC and supanet wont come up again.

Have a look again and scroll down if need be.

or


Have a look again Start | Run | type Msconfig | Startup.
It may not be an obvious Supanet wording, but more likely an abbreviated item.
Download Startup Inspector from here.... http://www.windowsstartup.com/startupinspector.php
When installed, press the consult tab while your online, and it will give you information on what's required and what's not.

I used to have this problem on an old computer I got from Time (no sniggering!!) In the end I had to edit the registry to get rid of it. Now I'm no expert but I used regedit and search. Every trace of Supanet I came across in there was deleted and voila no more supanet!

As for the startup option, I had tried doing that, but for some mysterious reason it never appeared amongst the list of programmes - no idea why.

Try right clicking on the pop-up and selecting "Properties", can you find the location of a .exe from there? Otherwise, search for a file named isetup.exe.

On my Time PC, I searched for all files related to Supanet and deleted them.

manutd_2

download ccleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/

install it

open ccleaner up

go to tools on the left hand side

now startup

find the supanet entry and delete it

i had the same problem on my time machine. this method defo works

I had a similar problem with a TIME PC running Windows ME after doing a restore master image run.

In WIN ME all I had to do was go into C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Connection Wizard and there was a file there called supanet.

I deleted that file and, hey presto, problem gone!

May be a similar file and directory in XP?
