Weird Win 7 Startup processes/tasks
Can anyone advise what these two lines do? These are not on my PC, at least, not that I've ever noticed. I'm trying to help someone else with their PC. If I disable these via msconfig, they come back.
 Thanks

Not a Windows guy but Linda is infected wtih something. I can't think of why anything legit would disguise itself as a random javascript function call with non-seniscal seeming arguments.

I am kind of thinking that myself.

Have you searched the file names to see what they are?
It is usually a bad sign when something shows up after you delete it. Run a full barrage of security software: anti-virus whatever flavor you like, Tdsskiller.exe, MBRcheck.exe, and Malwarebytes. If all is well, then ask when it showed up and do a system restore to a date prior than that while in safe mode.

I’ve got it going. She has MS MSE, and it was finding Vigorf.A and Techbrolo.q. They kept coming back. I managed to get some running processes closed, and when I did, that enabled me to clear out some files and registry entries. I rebooted and the processes didn’t start back up. I did get an error message because I had missed a couple of registry entries, but they weren’t enough to get anything to happen. I went through and deleted more registry entries. I have MSE scanning agin, but a full scan this time, and I am monitoring the running processes. I think since I stopeed the rogue processes, that the scan will now be able to clean the PC once and for all.

If they come back again after rebooting then clean the machine after starting up in safe mode.

That seems to have done the trick. The PC has been rebooted several times with no issues following reboots. I’ve also run JRT which is from the Malwarebytes folks, as well as ADWcleaner and also installed Malwarebytes and ran them all. They have all came back clean.

Time to take the leap.
Let them take over the unit and install Win 10 and all the accoutrements. Scary I know, but not as bad as I imagined. Bill K (technologically impaired)
