Autostarter

[Stoneage]

Hello Can anyone please tell me what autostarter does, it appeared in my startup folder 0n the 7/6/15, I don't knew how or why it installed but would certainly like to know what it is and what it does.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers

Thanks Gman
Don't have ashampoo but have got spybot and bullguard neither shows a problem, looking at the write up in your link I wonder why its on in the first place or why the installation didn't show in windows upgrade.
Cheers

Don't know to be honest it could be related to anything you installed recently.

I would not go near any of the programs that link I posted suggest you download and run, they are just a money racket and will want you to buy them after install.

There is Info in that link that tells you where that file resides so you can track it down yourself and delete it. There is also reference to a registry entry but only go there if you are fully competent in editing the registry.

Just had a look at MS updates nothing for that date, and no installs of any other description either, anyway will track it down and get shut thanks for your help.
