Just saying it constantly appears in msconfig isn't saying anything...Where at?

There is nothing that shows up in google under what you posted.

You say it keeps showing up....does this mean that you have deleted it before.

Having the file there doesn't actually mean anything as it could be from a legitimate application or program. That it keeps showing up is bothersome to say the least.

If you have deleted it before and it reappears then there has to be something that keeps placing it there...run a search from your desktop and see what other files comes up with that one. Do not start it by no means.

have you run your anti-virus program and other anti-malware applications as well!

virus
 
Thankyou :)

yes sir i already scan my pc with avg. the said anti virus can not detect it. i locate the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32 but i can't find the file.

i always uncheck it on msconfig. when i start my pc it is running again.
and everytime i eject my flashdrive it won't allow me to eject my flashdrive unless i disabled it on task manager..

If you have it traced to that then it is possible that it is a file from the manufacture of the flash drive to protect the drive from being hot swapped. I would reformat the drive and see what the file does then or to see if it was caused by something stored in the drive itself.
