Here is the file from Ccleaner.

I guess you uploaded the items under "uninstall" ... do it for "startup". Also upload your MSINFO32.nfo file.

1. Click on the start button
2. Type "msinfo32" (without quotes) in the search bar of the start menu, click the resulting link. It will open the System Information window.
3. File>Save. In the "File Name" filed, put "MSINFO32" (without Quote), give the save location to desktop, and click the "save" button.
4. Give the time for processing, it will save a .nfo file on your desktop.
5. Zip it, and upload it following the instruction.

Here is the MSINFO32 file.

The message is being caused by this startup entry .......

PROGRAM|COMMAND|USERNAME|LOCATION
HKCU | c:\windows update\server.exe | fdfdfdfd-PC\fdfdfdfd | HKU\S-1-5-21-3800995750-2033227994-2166728392-1001\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

1. Click on the Start button
2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
3. Select the “Startup” tab.
4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus, Avast.
5. Apply > OK
6. Accept then restart.

Now restart the computer. Let us know if you are getting this message anymore or not.

The message is gone. It was a Microsoft Visual Studio entry. Thank you.

 

[Layback Bear]

Well now that was quick. Glad you got it fixed. Could you explain the steps you took to solve the problem? It could help others that might get the same problem.

It is here .... #6 .

 

[Layback Bear]

I'm sorry but I don't see the OP's post stating the your recommendation in post #6 was completed.

My thought were this (c:\windows update\server.exe) could be a infection.
Well the OP is fixed and that is what counts.
Good job Arc.

What do you think about the lower four of these ?

 

[Arc]

Three intel entries and one motive entry. I would not keep those in startup

For me, MSE, ObjectDock and Rainmeter

Startup Entry

Hello,

A popup appears during startup. When i untick them with MSCONFIG and i do a restart, the are back ticked again. It is Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 entries. It is four times. What to do to disable em?

 

[marios1441]

Msconfig

I can't disable some Start up entries. They come back again.

 

[Arc]

Go with what Layback Bear suggested ... Scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs.

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
• Windows Defender Offline

What programs are we talking about.

Sometimes you need to turn off Start with Windows or any Updater in the program's Preferences or it will reinsert itself in Startup.

You do not need any program to start with Windows except your AV, any sync you use, Gadgets/Stickies.

Some users like their messenger to be started with Windows so they are always available.
