[QUOTE="gdestiny, post: 93840"] the startup items in my account is blank; there's nothing to remove. but process like NortonAutoProtect, VShieldXXX, Virex, etc. keeps showing up in my Activity Monitor under All Processes since OSX does not have a registry like XP, there's gotta be a script or command file that launches those processes at startup. what's more annoying is even when i force quit NortonAutoProtect, it comes back again in a few minutes! and it's eating up about 11MB of physical memory.
