Why am I seeing these 5 startup items named with my first name of my User name which don't make any sense? (SELF-SOLVED)

Hi D33P, that is really strange, 5 processes with the same name . . .

Task Manager and indeed Msconfig offer only limited control over Startup items . . .

Click the link below to download a small free utility that does not require installation

When the file downloads, unzip it.

Depending on your system, run Autoruns or Autoruns64 as Administrator

With that utility, you can right click and delete any startup item in Windows

In the long list of startup items, look for anything referencing Multiversal
