A recent upgrade to the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client causes the anyconnect client to load at windows startup. This is a pain in the ass since I'm not always going to connect to my VPN when I start windows. Thanks for taking the MS approach on this one Cisco. Thanks also for not providing a simple way to turn this off via the UI. To prevent this client from loading at boot:
start -> type: msconfig.exe
click the tab "startup"
uncheck "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client"
click "ok"
click "exit without restart"
