    snd.val & scr.pos suddenly appear


    Last Friday I suddenly got two dialogue boxes open on start-up. One says that Windows doesn't know how to open snd.val and the other scr.pos.

    I have searched unsuccessfully online but cannot find a solution.

    I have not installed any new software so I am at a loss as to why they have appeared.

    I tried disabling each tsr in turn to see if I could track down what was causing it but again no success.

    Any ideas?

    First to be safe I would run a malwarebytes scan

    Please download the free version of Malwarebytes.
    Update it immediately.
    Do a full system scan
    Let us know the results at the end.

    I ran the program you suggested but it did not find any Malware.

    I have just got some information come up from Microsoft Windows File Association about the files so I will investigate the websites they suggest.

    Solved


    I tracked down the two files to my C:\Users\........\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and deleted them.

    It appears to have solved the problem but new files have been created which don't seem to cause the problem.
