ADOBE the program that won't die

I installed a trial copy of Adobe Photoshop 64 bit on my new Win 7 computer.
Now I want to uninstall it. It refuses to uninstall because Adobe Speed
Launcher is running in the background. I CAN’T FIND THIS BLOODY SPEED
LAUNCHER!!!



1) How do I find it so I can kill it?





Or



2) How do I prevent it form starting up when I restart my computer? (
My start folder is empty)





Please help me get this virus off my new machine!!!!!

Find it here: "Adobe Reader Speed Launcher=C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader
9.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe".

Donald:
You should be able to stop the process in Task Manager.

Thank you!



That answer was so obvious (and it worked) that I'm embarrassed to have had
to ask the question.

You can permanently stop it from starting up by running msconfig
