Kernel fault check...is a Windows proces. The key information item would be knowing what "new startup program" had been added, IMO.

You probably ought to read the instructions for using CyberDefender, it's the program that gave you alert.

Various security programs provide this or a similar feature (including Windows Defender) and some firewalls installed on systems.

Bear in mind that "startup" can refer to an installed program or simply one which has placed a shortcut on your boot menu.

New programs on the Start menu can be easily identified by visual inspection, while you can use a utility like AutoRuns for Windows - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb963902.aspx to monitor, disable, remove unwanted startup items appearing on the Logon tab of Autoruns.

IMO means "in my opinion" :thumbsup:.
