Hi anazopyreo...
The program is still referenced in the registry and is probably sill listed in the startup list. Did you remove it with it's own uninstaller or through Add or Remove Programs?
Click Start, then Run, type msconfig and click "Ok". Under the "Startup" tab, look in the list for and entry relating to the uninstalled application. If you find it, uncheck the box next to it and "Apply" the change. Reboot.
Upon restarting, you will see a Selective Startup dialog window...this is normal. Tick the box to not show it again and click "Ok".
This should eliminate the error at startup. We'll still need to find it and remove it from the registry, but finish these steps, first.

I'm glad to hear there is more, because this didn't work the last time I tried it, anyway, I finished this much. What's next?

go to:
Start > Run
In the box, type regedt32
navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
Remove any key related to Ghost Surf.
Hope this helps,

in the same place that caracas told you to look...do you see an entry for "Tenebril"?
