The following warning will be shown when you try to run the Notepad:Īpplication cannot be executed. While Antispyware Soft is running, it may block any programs from running as an attempt to scare you into thinking that your computer is infected with malware. Important to know, all of these infections do not actually exist on your computer, so you can safely ignore the false scan results. Of course, this is a scam, because the rogue is unable to detect or remove any infections. Once started, it will simulate a system scan and report a variety of infections that will not be fixed unless you first purchase the software. In first step, Antispyware Soft will register itself in the Windows registry to run automatically when you logon into Windows.

My advice: read, learn, backup, test, decide.Antispyware Soft is a new rogue antispyware from the same family of rogues as Antivirus Suite, Antivirus Soft, Antivirus Live, etc. So, I don't NEED hotkeys to control display settings, so I'm disabling anything that isn't needed. I like to test things, and evaluate the results myself. My problem is, I don't ASSUME anyone has 'the right answer'(all the info). I even disable my intel graphics card once (don't do that, unless you don't use your laptop display, or you know what you're doing). In the past, I've tried disabling everything (incrementally). Nusb3mon (usb 3 controller driver) currently enabled. java updater (jusched.exe) I'm tempted to leave on (out-of-date java is a big security threat) I have intel stuff, nvidia stuff, nvidia 3d stuff, I even installed the wi-di drivers (I hope to get chance to use them soon!)Ĭ:\Windows\system32\igfxtray.exe (display setting)Ĭ:\Windows\system32\hkcmd.exe (shortcut support)Ĭ:\Windows\system32\igfxpers.exe (screen res program)Ĭ:\Program Files\Realtek\Audio\HDA\RAVBg64.exe /MAXX3 (hd audio background process)Ĭ:\Program Files\Realtek\Audio\HDA\RtkNGUI64.exe -s (realtek audio program) I don't remember this many startup entries previously, but I did follow the driver installation order for my machine for the first time. I wanted to add this, because the 'jist' of this thread said to me, "don't remove startup entry igfxtray.exe. Unless you're CERTAIN you don't need it, leave system protection on, maybe create a restore point before committing significant/experimental changes. If you have a problem, hit f8 and try last known good (auto backup created) If using something like ccleaner/tune-up, disable. So I'm looking at tips, removing what I think I don't need. I found this page because I have my 'new OS' (installed windows 7 ultimate 64-bit, clean install, virtual OS on 'bare metal') I'm setting up after my last one (hundreds of hours of tweaks all gone.) died (sector 0 failed on new SSD).
