    How to locate this suspicious program?


    I found a suspicious program under Task Manager/Startup. Its name is "Program"; its icon is a rectangle with a folded upper right hand corner, just like that of a generic .txt file except there is no horizontal lines in it; its publisher is blank. How do I find out the location of this program? I most likely will delete it.

    :)

    Once you know what it is, then decide how to deal with it.

    More: try Autoruns, free from MS.

    How to locate this suspicious program?

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
