NOTEPAD NOTEPAD.exe in startup. is it a virus/spyware?Configuration:
Should it be removed from startup?

Answer:
Definitely remove, its either a virus, spyware, adware or "hogs resources"
Added as the result of the RUSTY VIRUS! Note - not to be confused with the valid Windows "NOTEPAD" text editor! This malware actually changes the default value data of the Registry "Run" key in order to force Windows to launch it at boot. Name field may be empty
Operating System : Windows XP
