Solve : dumprep 0 -k?

1.	Solve : dumprep 0 -k?
Answer» Perusing under misconfig - startup, I have noticed a new item, or at least I think it is a new item; dumprep 0 -k. What is this? I can find a little info on dumprep 0 -u but not the k. Is it safe to disable this from the startup? Is it a virus? I have Windows XP sp3 and I am running AVG, MalwareBytes, & SuperAntiSpyware. I am a concerned about new items in my startup since I recently found the RedGirl trojan lurking there that my anti-virus and anti-spyware programs failed to catch. Thankfully Chris was able to GUIDE me through its removal and my computer was declared healthy. So now the question is - have I picked up something else nasty? Thank you for the help.dumprep.exe is associated with your memory dumps. Has the computer crashed recently? http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/dumprep.exe-6014.html It is OK to disable it with MSCONFIG but not preferred. MSCONFIG is intended to be a troubleshooting tool and not a startup manager. Removing dumprep entries is actually best done with a registry edit or a safer method of using HJT. We can do both if you wouldn't mind posting a log. Download TrendMicro HijackThis.exe (HJT) to the Desktop. Double-click on HJTInstall. Click on the Install button. It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe. Upon install, HijackThis should open for you. Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button HijackThis will scan and then a log will open in notepad. Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post. Do not have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required. Wow, thanks for the info and help. I have attached the HijackThis log and await further instructions. Again, thank you!

Please accept my heartfelt thanks...For services you want to only run when needed. Only do this with the ones you are sure of. Disabling a critical service can have bad results.

Go to Start > Run and type in Services.msc then click OK
Scroll down until you find the service.

Click once on the service to highlight it.
Click Stop

Right-Click on the service.
Click on 'Properties'
Select the 'General' tab
Click the Arrow-down tab on the right-hand side on the 'Start-up Type' box
From the drop-down menu, click on 'Manual'
