Why don't you run msconfig and then find the service and un-check it. Windows won't boot it. Problem solved. If you can find it under the program list then un-install it, but simply not loading it will stop it... ...loading.

Mmmm, now I'm hungry. Think I'll go put on some toast.

Well, the program is using the default Visual Studio icon file. That is not a commercial program and is most likely a virus. If you reinstalled Windows and it is still there either: 1/ That program is preinstalled on that disc 2/ It is a virus that got attached to your hardware's memory I agree with ChrisW9 to check where the file is located. I would like to know :)

Edit: Check out this forum post on the HP website. If you want to get rid of it you can apparently uninstall HP's quicklaunch and wireless assistant software, but check to make sure you need it. As far as I can tell it is normal. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/Problem-With-the-HpqToaster-Module/td-p/101604

The research i have done says its just a HP program and its nothing to worry about... it said somthing about it manages the HP wireless card popups... I dont know dose that seem right?

Yes, but it is possible that I virus could be using this a a type of disguise. When you change the volume with a keyboard command does a popup graphic come up? I think you should be fine as long as you installed from the original discs

i get the volume and wifi card popup graphic and i installed from the Recovery part of my hard drive, also when i turn off my wifi card, Toast starts and the HP Wireless assistant Shows up, then when the HP Wireless assistant goes away Toast closes.

then Y does My windows 7 start it up for a split second after loging into windows... does windows 7 home premeum use it?

extremely unlikely that windows is using any part of it during startup. more likely toast is putting a systray shortcut for quick access. if that is the case there should be a way to disable it's autostart option.

Roxio Toast is for mac only. Not Windows.

I checked for Toast in the programs and did not see it...

Run a virus scan.

Norton? that's a third party. Try Microsoft Security Essentials and you should be fine

Could be just bloatware, where did you buy the computer?

compaq does not have a bloatware named "toast" i'm on a compaq laptop and I removed every bloatware it has. Never seen that thing.

(Dec 05 '11 at 04:09) xedric14

OOops forgive me.. yes, Toast is a bloatware from HP. LOL you can safely delete that (by opening Task manager>> right click "toast">> open procee>> open file location) or uninstall the bloatwares of HP. (and make sure you don't kill the drivers.) lol

(Dec 05 '11 at 04:13) xedric14

Go onto the start menu. Type run. then type msconfig. Go to start up then look around and un-click it if it's there.

If that fails go to task manager and right click on toast. click to go process. Copy the command line. fine the location and delete the file.
