I didn't notice this problem since I tried to install a demo of Adobe Illustrator. It opened a download manager, and ever since then a small green globe icon has been appearing in my startup menu about 5 minutes after my computer powers on. As soon as it appears, i get the little whirling blue circle of waiting, and I cannot do anything else. In the 5 minute window I have before this kicks in, I have tried running some scans with Norton, accessing the startup programs to see if there is anything new in there, both with no luck.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help resolve this, Thanks very much!!!
