How to remove MyClubVaio from windows startup?

Hi all,

I just got a Vaio C-Series running Windows Vista Home Premium, and I'm having a problem.
MyClubVaio starts on system startup, and I don't use it, but I dont't know how to disable it.

So I google'd my issue a couple weeks ago and found a forum thread, but i can't find it now. I think they mentioned something concerning the Windows Task Scheduler, but as I start it, 6 annoying warnings come up on popup windows. Something like:

1 - An error occured for task MCVSurveyReminder4. Error Message: The specified account name is not valid.
2 - An error occured for task MCVSurveyReminder3. Error Message: The specified account name is not valid.
3 - An error occured for task MCVSurveyReminder2. Error Message: The specified account name is not valid.
4 - An error occured for task MCVSurveyReminder1. Error Message: The specified account name is not valid.
5 - An error occured for task LaunchMCV. Error Message: The specified account name is not valid.
6 - An error occured for task Reminders - Diogo. Error Message: The specified account name is not valid.

And these errors popup a few more times as I explore the Task Scheduler GUI. And I can't figure where MyClubVaio could be located there...

Windows Defender startup list, msconfig, admin tools not startup folder show up any conclusive entries for anything called MyClubVaio.

So how do I prevent MyClubVaio to start up on system boot? And why these errors occur on TaskScheduler startup?

It did, removing a few registry data did the trick. Thanks for looking up that thread for me!
