As a matter of fact that is the final step in JackSpratts Grokster SpywareFree Install - Step by Step tutorial. I am about to post something that also was mentioned somewhere. I was commenting on the fact that I didn't see the update in my Startup Folder...

I was wondering about this step and then remembered that I declined the update while installing Grokster...
"How" you might ask "was I able to just say no..." without a restart?
One program I find I can't do without (It's one of the first I install if I re-load Windows) is Mike Lin's StartupMonitor. Here is a quote from Mike Lin's Home Page.

StartupMonitor is a small utility that runs transparently (it doesn't even use a tray icon) and notifies you when any program registers itself to run at system startup. It prevents those utterly useless tray applications from registering themselves behind your back, and it acts as a security tool against trojans like BackOrifice or Netbus.
