Do a google serach for "cacheman.exe" There is a registry hack the prog is
more simple.

Are you Spyware free? Update Ad-aware and run a scan.
Free up some of your system resources using the "MSCONFIG"
Configuration Utility.

Try this:
Start>Run>Type in "msconfig">OK>Choose Selective
Startup, then click on Startup tab at the top of the box.
This will give you a list of programs and files that are
loading every time you start up. Uncheck any items that
you don't need to load upon startup, such as Microsoft
Works. This doesn't mean you can't use them, just that
you have to open them manually. I did this and my System
Resources free went fron 45% to 85%. Hope this helps!

See http://www.onlinehelp.bc.ca/tips.htm#resources for information
about System Resources.

One of the best ways to control the usage of System Resources is to
limit the number of background tools and toys (a.k.a. crap and
corruption) that gets loaded when your computer starts up.

Use Start - Run - MSCONFIG and go to the Startup tab. Compare the
list of items that are loading at startup with the following checklist
web sites to see what can be safely dispensed with:

http://www2.whidbey.com/djdenham/Uncheck.htm
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.htm
http://www.3feetunder.com/krick/startlist.htm - has trojan related
items listed

Note: Please ensure that you fully understand the purpose of a
startup item, how and why it was put into the startup, and the
consequences (if any) of removing it before you make any changes.
Some items are very important for the proper and safe functioning of
your computer, including at least one item that is listed twice.

Disabling an item by unchecking it in MSCONFIG should only be done for
testing purposes or as a "last resort" when no other way of getting
rid of the unwanted item can be found.


Good luck
