if you're reffering to the fact that a brand new pc comes clean, you might be totally mistaken, most of them come with a lot of pre-loaded software that can interact and cause problem with other software (take the google bar on toshiba laptop by example).
What we're suggesting is basically to help you out, it is the steps that we would each take in your situation. Clearing the registry and re-installing the latest version is the first thing I'd do, then I'd verify the task manager to see if it's running (the fact that you don't see it doesn't mean it's not running).
