While using advanced windowscare to check my start up items i have come across some that it does not recognise and others that it classes as harmful but which seem to be nothing more than applications that are not harmful. is there a program that could identify these correctly or is there anyone who is willing to help through email contact. thanks

(Please note scans may take long hours... So take a nap while scanning or do other things and turn off anything BESIDES the Computer to save energy. IE: Monitor, Speakers, anything that require energy)
First, do another scan with your virus protector and/or Internet Security
Then do other online scans
For Online Scans go to:
Windows: http://safety.live.com
Norton/Symantec: http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/home.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym&plfid=23&pkj=JTHVRSJRFSKLUKUMXCC
Mcafee: http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp
If you need spyware protection and removal, use these:
Ad-Aware SE Personal: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
SuperAntiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com
Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/
AVG Free Anti-Spyware: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5
For Free Virus Protector, use:
AVG Free Anti-Virus: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5
Avast (your choice): http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html
Use any of these for safety scan, virus and spyware scan and removal. If all finds nothing, your computer is fine.

you have to be careful when using 3rd party applications, some of them are geared toward one product or another and against some others. e-mail me a screenshot of what you have , or send me a hijack this screenshot
