Hello Jed Oldham There must still be an Updater installed. You will probably find it in Control Panel/Add Remove Programs.Just uninstall it.If it is not there look for it in msconfig Start/Run and type in msconfig OK Startup Tab Keep the page open then go to the link below. It will tell you what all the entries are and whether you can disable them or not. It will also identify any malware. Disable everything which is not needed to run at start up http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php Read the Key at top of page. Use the Search box to check all your entries When you reboot you will get a message saying you have started in "Selective Startup" Click "Don`t show this message again" then OK.

Thank you, but I tried going to add/remove and there was nothing there. I also went into the msconfig and still was unable to find anything. Is there anything else thatI might be able to try to get rid of the message.

Try the steps here Step 2 is MCPR.exe which is a removal tool. Give it a go as well.
