    Hey all

    Whilst looking at the start up programmes on my computer, I noticed this. Can anyone tell me what this start up is ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Looks suspicious. I would run anti-virus scan on that folder, and disable that for startup

    Check taskmanager to see if any suspicious processes are running.

    Likely a virus or other crapware.

    I checked the process, nothing to be found suspicious of. I did however remove a few viruses few days ago. Not sure if that would have been traces left behind ?

    My Anti virus didn't pick it up now, after scanning the folder, but have now disabled it on start up.

    you should be suspicious of anything running out of a temp. dir
    most likely a left over entry from malware

    close all programs.
    click start > run
    type %temp% and hit enter
    delete everything you can

    Thanks, I did that, only a few files couldn't be deleted. I did a scan in safe mode using Spybot and found a registry key 'sexvid' goodness knows where that came from.
