Just an item that i can't identify, and thought maybe someone could give me some insight on, like maybe another resource to try to get info, or if you just happen to know what the toot that thing is. I searched for both "744877be" and "xptduwme" on the startup programs db and google.

Hi Padraigh,

I can't find it either. Is your PC having problems at the moment?

Random letters and numbers coupled with no search results usually imply malware.

I suggest that you post the Am I Infected forum for an identification as this is the wrong place for BC's team to find it.

If I have helped you fix your PC then please donate to the anti-malware cause. Thanks

Well, there you go. The boss thinks it's malware. :thumbsup:
