How to delete the program named "Program".

Question

Hello everyone, I am having a series problem here. I installed some of programs from not-so-trustworthy sites and now my antivirus blocking automatically opening websites (this website is blocked because this can harm your device), deleted 50+ malwares and blocked 100+ websites (automatically opening). When I open startup, I am seeing a program named "Program" which can only be disabled or searched online. The options to view file location and properties are disabled. I cannot open its file location or view its properties.

I have seen Installed programs but there are all trustworthy programs. Please tell me how to delete this "Program".

Answer 1

If you're referring to the shown file path "C:\Program" Files\Common Files\etc... - it's due to bug in the Startup tab for an item that has been removed. The first quote mark is at the start of the filepath, the last one should be at the end of the filepath, but instead appears at the first available space character in the filepath.

Hi, to fix the issue, first download Autoruns:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

Unzip autoruns64.exe, then right click and run as administrator.

Accept the EULA, then select the Logon tab

Whatever that "Program" entry is should be highlighted in yellow

Right click on the yellow highlighted entry and Delete

Then reopen the Task Manager Startup tab and "Program" should be removed

If you have any problems, share an Autoruns log for perusal.

When Autoruns finishes scanning, go to File > Save - Save the autoruns.arn log

Share the log on OneDrive, Google Drive, or a similar file sharing service

Post the share link

Thanks for reply. Your solution perfectly works.

Before executing your steps, I dig a little deep into this and found this:

program is running in the address which is not available. How is this possible?
