    Additional Window Prompt Appears as Windows 7 is loading


    Hello,
    On my wife's laptop, I've noticed lately that as windows 7 is loading, a prompt appears on the desktop but is only visible for a few seconds. I'm unable to see what it says, is there anyway to see what it might be ?
    Thanks,
    David

    Update: I think I discovered what the prompt was, I had this software installed on both my wife's computer and mine, http://www.malwarebytes.org/antiexploit/ . I didn't see the additional prompt window on my computer due to the fact I'm running windows 8.1, and I was booting to the 'metro' screen, when I changed my computer to boot directly to the desktop, I saw the same prompt appear. I un-installed the software and no longer see the prompt.

    It sounds like a prompt when Malwarebytes trial period is over.

    At that time you can choose to buy the Premium version or use the free version.

    MBAE has a free and paid version. The free may still prompt you to upgrade.

    I just installed it to try it.

    Edit: No prompts of any kind yet.
