Sonic Activation Module

After a particularly fun run in with Winfixer, I managed to get rid of the Vundo with help in HJT, etc.  But I still ended up doing a System Restore with the help of Dell Personnel over the phone.
 
When I was on the phone, I asked the technition what Sonic Update Manager was?  That I was prompted to install it every time I inserted a DVD. (This is before the restore btw)  He told me that Sonic is a program similar to Roxio and that he'd mail the disk if I needed it.  I told him I had Roxio installed. And he suggest I just add/remove the program if I already have Roxio.
 
So.  I restore my system and such.  Updated Windows - all that.  I've gone back through and reinstalled my virus scan, office, etc and deleted the programs I didn't want.   I remembered what the technition said regarding Sonic so when I went into Add/Remove Programs to delete otehr things, I removed Sonic as well. Then Defragged, virus scanned, and rebooted.
 
Now when ever I turn on my computer I'm prompted to Install "Sonic Activation Module" but it says that I need to insert the disc to install it.  I have no such disc.  I'm not sure what sonic is, but if it really is just a burning program, I really don't need it.  But having to speed-click cancel as I'm prompted in a loop usually 3 circles long to insert the disc to install Sonic Activation Module is getting really old.
 
Any one know how I could stop this prompt from showing up every time I turn on my computer, etc?
