Solve : Help required with 'conime.exe'.?

Answer»

'conime.exe' has started showing up inadvertently within the 'Start-up entries' & it reappears even on being disabled from running at Start-up!?

Help me to disable it on a permanent basis.

I did run the full scan(before posting this topic) of Avira Antivir, SuperAntispyware & Trend Micro Housecall(Standalone app.).

It didn't find anything in regard to Conime.exe?

Secondly, why it has started showing up in the recent days only?..(probably linked to some Microsoft Windows XP updates....?..could it be?)

Finally, why can't I disable it on a permanent basis?

& YES.....

WHATEVER ehow.com article suggest, I couldn't find anything under the similar folder.

The only thing I found using 'Windows Search' may please be accessed through following screenshot.

Help & effort sincerely appreciated...

Click Start, Run and type regedit, Ok.
Expand HKEY_Current_User, Expand AppEvents, Highlight Console.
Look for Name LoadConIme and right-click and choose Modify.
Change Value from 1 to 0. Click Ok.
Check again for any differences.

You are right. I am too vague. some very credible sites say it is a needed Microsoft program. And some other reliable sites say it is a bad thing.

Here is the most relevant I could find. Yes it is a normal program and yes it is something you should get rid of. You have to read it over to decide.

The point being made here is invasive programs may start a process that the user does not WANT or need. And in some CASES Mal-ware will modify a known program and infect it. Only the later will be caught by your AV program. Unless the AV program can read your mind and know your intentions.right... because the most evil thing malware can do is start harmless programs that do nothing.
