    I have a Program in my Start-Up simply entitled "Program", is it malware?


    Hello, I have a Program in my list of Start-Ups simply called "Program", it has no file location when I right-click on it, also I cannot check its properties, its Start-Up impact is listed as "Not Measured" this seems off to me, however I don't want to do something that would potentially be harmful, can I disable this on Start-Up or is this an important windows Program that has been poorly labeled?

    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    :)

    Repair/Malware program


    Hard to say without more detail, but that could be a sign of problems. I suggest you follow my steps in post #11, to get your system in tip top shape.

    The program you are referring to should be ignored. Ccleaner is the ONLY program I would EVER run on a registry, ever.

    Repair/Malware program


    Here's the situation as it was. I had PCacceleratePro on the computer, but research showed it to be a problem so I removed it. I also have Reimage on the computer, but it scans and finds issues, but I haven't purchased it. Research also showed it to have problems. also listed is McAfee and Malwarebytes, but I'm not sure how effective either of those are. Reimage keeping listing stability issues and malware issues, including listing PCaccelerate as malware. Are any of those programs effective?
