If you're running XP, click on the start menu, then click on run. Enter msconfig then click OK. Click on the last icon on the last subfolder (at the right of the window) which should be probably "start" or something like that (I am running a french version of XP...sorry) and which gives you access to all the programms to be started everytime you open your windows session. Find the line you mention in your e-mail and uncheck the box in front of it. Restart your computer and it should be OK.
