Yesterday I wanted to add a program to Login Items under System Preferences, so that it'll launch at boot up. I've never added anything to it before, so I expected it to be empty. I was surprised to see 3 "Internet Reminders" in there. 3 Identical applications. I don't even know what these do. Today, I went and checked, and now there are 4! What did I do that added another one? What do these do, and can I removed these? Thanks.

Maybe it's some shareware program you are running and it's a 'pay me or else' reminder it's installing.

It could also be an auto-updater program for some application you have.
