Hello

I was using a program called total media theater for a while but since I am not using it anymore I decided to uninstall.
After uninstalling now I get an error in the event viewer every time my computer starts

The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
ArcSec


How do I go about getting rid of this error?
I cannot see a service in services, when I do a sc query arcsec it mentiones the word kernel from which I have nightmares and why I'm opening this thread before doing any action.

These are the lines in the registry that contain arcsec

I can only assume these are safe to delete but I need your advice/input.
Thanks!

Run CCLeaner, click on Tools then Startup and see what is autostarting when you boot. Disable anything that seems related to total media theater or ArcSec.

Thanks Rich. There wasn't an instance of arcsec in CCleaner but I used sysinternals autoruns and there was an instance of it in the drivers tab so I just unchecked it and the error is gone now.
