System crashes...

Occasionally, when I turn on my computer, it shuts down after Windows loads,
then restarts on its own. I suspect my McAfee antivirus might have something
to do with this but when I go into System Configuration to disable McAfee
from Startup it isn't showing. The program starts every time I boot up- how
can it not be showing in the Startup file?

How can I stop it from running automatically?

Thanks.

Dell Dimension E521
Vista Home Premium
McAfee Integrated Security Platform Version 2,0,0,0

Uninstall McAfee, and install either AVG or Avast in its place..
