I already posted about this in the 'little questions' thread but Spazzy suggested I make a help thread about it too. Original posts:
This is probably really stupid but I don't care and it's really annoying me.

ControlC (http://controlc.com/) is this potentially really handy website that keeps a record of stuff you copy/paste, so if you need it later it's on your profile, but I never use it, and I don't particularly want a record of all the stuff I copy/paste on a profile. But I can't figure out how to get rid of it. I've checked the FAQ (all of which are about the forum as opposed to the program itself) and there's nothing about getting rid of it.

You have to download it, so I assumed it'd be in programs and I could uninstall it from there, but it's not, and I can't. Any suggestions?

Even when I search my start menu nothing shows, but every time I turn on my computer this box pops up asking for my login and password, and even when I don't enter them, it logs everything on my profile until I tell it not to and exit it. And then it's gone again and it doesn't show until the next time I turn on the computer.

And some screenshots:

Do a control + alt + delete and screen shot the list of processes, odds are it will have a recognizable name as long as it isn't malware.

I don't know vista so i am not even sure you can do this but try:

1) opening a command prompt (run => 'cmd' )
2) Type msconfig
3) go to startup and look for that program then uncheck the box and apply.

If worse comes to worse search your computer for ControlC.exe and delete it. Make sure you end the process before deleting it.
