    Hopefully someone can help me figure this out. Every time I reboot my computer, right before it asks for my windows password, it gives me the message xxxx/autochek.exe/xxxx/xxxx cant find autocheck or something like that. Anyone ever have this problem or know how I can get rid of it?

    Yeah... like Greg said, seems fishy. I'd run some scans under safe mode (hit F8 while your computer is just booting up).

    Doesn't sound fishy at all to me.

    Just press f8 after rebooting and choose "last known good configuration" and you should be fine.
