Why is this an issue after 2 years?I looks to me like you have a bootable network Card,

If thats the Case all you need to do is change the boot order in your Bios to Boot From HDD First, and Network last

Many Bios's are Different so i we would need more information on your computers hardware in order to helpive done and attached the report if that helps - when it starts up it says press shift & tab to change something (cant remember wot it said) - in this OPTION i can change a setting to 'local only' which stops the scan but doesnt stay saved when i startup again - ive probably made it sound more confusing then it actually is - sorry - any help will be much appriciated
