The Yahoo messanger is really getting on my nerves. Inspite of removing it "n" number of times from my start up list, whenever I use messanger it automatically adds itself to start up again. Tried to remove using HijackThis but same result. Posting the Hijack this log along:

Cyborg Agent
Go to Start>Run and type in regedit,
and then navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and then delete any reference to Yahoo or YPager you find. Also check inside Yahoo Messenger to see if the "Automatically start with Windows" option is unchecked and that the program shortcut is not inside your Startup folder in Start>Programs>Startup
