I have something calling Rasautou.exe (as reported by Proventia events log). It happens after a reboot, or login. I can't catch the process calling it with process explorer. Panda requested the HJT uninstall list be attached, it is. SInce Rasautou is a modem thing, and I don't use dialup (no phone line connected), and no fax software is running on the computer, I'm kinda puzzled. I did a search of all files for COM or FAX, and got two log file I can't explain, or identify what they're from. Since I installed home use versions of Proventia and McAfee, and they use our company produced installers, that might be a good suspect? I can attache the log files if necessary Any help much appreciated. DP. Edit- it was supposed to be attached, anyway... text copied below: 3D Home Architect 2 3D Home Architect 5.0 Bonus Catalog 3D Home Architect 5.0 Deluxe ABBYY FineReader 5.0 Sprint Acrobat.com Acrobat.com Ad-Aware Adobe AIR Adobe AIR Adobe Bridge 1.0 Adobe Common File Installer Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX Adobe Flash Player Plugin Adobe Help Center 1.0 Adobe Photoshop CS2 Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 Adobe Photoshop v4.0 Adobe Reader 9 Adobe Stock Photos 1.0 Adobe Type Manager 4.0 Aglare Mp3 to Amr Converter 6.9 American Greetings CreataCard Select 6 American Greetings Scrapbooks and More!
