under Start > Run > msconfig, the last card where is says startup I have many inactive apps there including porn apps (that were automatically installed from web when firewall was disabled) and others, how can I deleate them/remove them from the list?

You have to find out what directory they was installed in and manually delete them from there!

Maybe ewido or spybot can delete them for you I dunno but it is worth a try!

I'd run Adaware and Spybot first, but if you want to delete startup entries Crap Cleaner (free) will do this.
