Error message on Startup

I receive the following message on Startup
QUOTE
 Windows cannot find C:/Program.  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.  To search for a file, click the START button, and then click SEARCH
 
                                                                                        OK
UNQUOTE
 
When I click on OK twice it resumes the Startup process and everything works.
Thank You
Garry

    Scan for spyware.

    You can disable the C:\program on startup by going to:

    Start--Run--- Type in "msconfig" (without quotes)

    Click the startup tab.

    If you find "C:\program" in the startup list, uncheck, apply, reboot.

    Good luck!!!

    Msconfig is just a bandaid for this problem. Use the other solution and remove all spyware, too.
