Unwanted scan or running program.

I have a program or a scan that will start at 00.01 daily. At this point, my computer slows down to the point that I can't use it. Is it possible to detect and remove?

Hi Davey,

There are many ways to go about this.  Some are simpler in some ways (like finding what it is) but may not provide everything you need to find a way to disable (or is perhaps not as simple to do) - but this one is almost certain work any and it's really not that hard.  In addition, these two programs are good to have in the Toolbox.

I suggest that you proceed as follows:

Download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx,

Download Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx.

When the process starts, open process Explorer and see what process has started at or near the time by adding the time beginning, command line, path of the Image and Description of the list of displayed items (view / select the columns / process Performance and check the box for the start time; then go to the process tab and check Image box for the other three) then sort by start time by clicking on the header of time starting at the top of this column.  That will tell you which has began at this time.  The rest will help you find in Autoruns.  If more than one, make a note of each and check each one.

Then open Autoruns and click the all tab and find this process (if more than one has been found to do one at a time) in the list using the information provided by Process Explorer.  Once found, double-click on it to get more information about this.  Once you know, you can decide if you want it to run (or want to change to another time if possible - that should tell you more information).  If you simply want it no longer work and is not something critical (make sure that you understand what you stop until you stop it) uncheck the box next to the task and it will not work either, and that's all.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
