Solved Unidentified Program at StartUp ?

[Purshu_Pro]

I dont know what is this, is it a virus or a program of mine or whatever. I found this program running along with my startup. Does any one had seen in ur PC this kind before, then what could it be?

Never seen it on my system,but you could open the file location and do a VT check.

 

[Chromatinfish 123]

No... can you see where the location is (like in Windows7)?

 

[MrXidus]

While in Task Manager > Startup Tab : Right click on the word Program and click "Open file location".

Or

Download Autoruns for Windows v12.01, Extract autoruns.exe to your desktop and run it as Administrator and then click the Logon tab.

There you will be shown more information about it including the exact file location.

This is not an uncommon problem in windows 8. If you right click on it and choose properties or open file location more times than not it will be greyed out. The next step would be the link to Autoruns for Windows as provided by MR.X above.
I would imagine this is some kind of leftover from an uninstalled program

Sorry Friends @venustus and @Chromatinfish 123 could not find the path of the program. @MrXidus Ran Autoruns But Not sure which program is that.

It's a windows media player setup. It's the built-in Media Player, at least it says so. Hopefully it's not disguise, I had a windows infection that disguised itself as a windows system file.

On the other highlighted one, that's Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit but it seems like the program is corrupted as the file couldn't be found. It's also preinstalled by HP...

Any idea what to do with those?

Try checking those with ESET Live Grid (You have ESET, right?). Post the results.

 

[MrXidus]

I would spot that this is the culprit.

Right click on this entry and click "Delete", then re-open Windows Task Manager > Startup tab and see if the Program entry has disappeared.

You could uncheck/delete the yellow highlighted items

I'm guessing the core program file is gone, so it can't load up.

Live Grid says everything is fine . And i could not find that program over there.

Uncheck the Anti-Exploit option and see if it's still there. The file seems to be deleted.

 

[Purshu_Pro]

Deleted it. Should i restart my PC and check through ?

Yep, but check with @MrXidus first.

 

[Purshu_Pro]

Thanks For all, problem solved. File has been eliminated.

Thanks @MrXidus
Thanks @venustus and @Chromatinfish 123

 

[MrXidus]

Glad to see the problem has been solved. Topic closed.

I'd like to add, when using Autoruns and you uncheck any Logon entries, they will disappear from the Windows Task Manager. I tried this earlier on today, before dban'ing Windows.
