I'm not rebooting my machine regularly, so the autorun stuff shouldn't be kicking in. Seems like something IB is doing on startup.
Well back in the day you could turn off the TWS Update Checker using msconfig under the Startup tab. However, now the Startup tab points to Task Manager and I can't find any TWS Update Checker in the possible tasks there to disable. So I don't know what is going on anymore. If you find out anything, please update this thread.
