Strange entry in startup list

Nope... he found the issue nad has explained it in a message a couple of hours ago / and some pages newer in the forum list.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Last week I did a new clean install on my Windows 10 machine. When the install was done, I checked the startup list to see which apps in the list can be disabled. I found one app called simply "Program". It had no publisher, no icon, nothing. :confused: I disabled it and scanned the registry to see if it was listed anywhere. I found no entries. A Google search produced very little, other than the fact that it is probably malware. I could not get rid of it. A Defender scan came up clean. However, this morning it was gone. It just disappeared. Does anyone have any idea of its origins and purpose? How did it get in the computer? Thanks!

To which you're not going to link, because it was hard work to find, and by god if you'd work for other people for free you'd be homeless.

Yes, I could have done it but didn't think about it. I can somehow say "my bad". But, to complain about it and don't link it yourself... :) (it would have costed you less time to find it and to post it, than to write all that) What a time waste and a useless sarcasm. The Lounge[^] Here you have. Your are welcome (you don't need to come back to say thank you).

Does it mean that "Asday" is your socket puppet?
