Eli Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hi I have noticed that every time I make a change in the start up list, pc health (a windows file) is trying to put itself on the list. I do not recall excluding this file from the list ever before therefor do not understand the "urge" of this one to be there...and yes, I scanned it for malware with several antispyware and anti viruses. Other than that, looks like the computer works properly. Does anyone have a clue why this program tries to put itself there?

Humpty Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 All I can come up with is a pchealth folder that belongs to windows. The pchealth folder contains files and subfolders to support the Microsoft Help Center Service. These files support all the Windows XP Help services, including features such as Remote Desktop Assistance. Could you do a search for "pchealth" and "pc health" and see what you come up with? Might be worth posting a hijackthis log just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Humpty I deactivated Remote Desktop Assistance a few months ago .Could that be the reason? may be it is trying to put itself back in service?(To be exact, we are talking about PC Health Binaries file) Eli OS : MS windows XP pro sp3 Processor : AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual core 3800, 2009Mhz.Mother board : Gygabyte M61 PM-S2 Ram : 3GBDisk space : 649.05 GB Default browser: FirefoxProtection : Sandboxie, MBam free version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
