>>>>>Hi,
>>>>>
>>>>>A few days ago I installed software that came with a digital camera. The software is for downloading pictures from the camera. But I suppose this CD (from camera company) came with some other programs that got installed. One is really is getting on my nerves. Now Comodo reports that "c:\Program Files\Common Files\ArcSoft\Connection Server\Bin\ArcCon.ac has loaded ArcBmh.dll .." And this creates a problem with my Outlook. So I want to kill this program (ArcCon.ac). Do you think simply deleting it from the drive is the way to go? I did uninstall the program ArcSoft (like a parent of this service) in the Add/Remove programs. I also checked in Service and found ArcSoft Connect Daemon there but it has not been started. But this ArcCon.ac still keeps coming up. What would you recommend? TIA.

>>>I have unchecked this service in the Service tab of the msconfig. Then restart the computer. On restart the message comes up that "You have used system configuration utility to make changes to the way Windows starts..." when I click Ok there, the System Configuration Utility comes up and if I click Ok there it prompts me to reboot. And it seem to go on in circles. That is, I can't get rid of MSCONFIG showing up on the start up. What am I missing?

There's another place to look: Start | All Programs | Startup
