Solved msascul.exe?? startup??

[ripbox]

Hey Guys and Gals

been a while now since my system has ran a but rough with performance issues ect, i have been trying to work this 1 out for a while but not really had much luck till now due to some sort of confusion with the way google has searched a particular .exe

i have begun to notice a particular startup item by the name of MSASCul.exe, now google has been confusing it with MSASCui.exe which turns out to be windows defender, so still somewhat confused i have obtained autoruns and tried a verification on msascul.exe only for autoruns to come back as not verified, googling so far the correct msascul.exe has brought little information up and would hopefully like some verification on if its a genuine executable or some little nasty i need to catch

thanx

Its either a world of warcract file or virus. msascul.exe - Dangerous

How reputable is this regrun?? is there anything else that is more trusted to remove it? maybe a long haul manual way??

 

[ripbox]

well i went ahead and ran it and removed it but still my boot is slow with almost 100% cpu load on all 4 cores and a lot of activity for several minuets after boot so it seems something else is running around my system

Hi ripbox,
It's worth running SuperAntiSpyware free version to see what it flushes out.
Perform a complete scan, which can take some time. Reboot at end.
For a second opinion Malwarebytes free version is an option. Reboot at end.
Let us know how you go.
Good luck.

OK well only ran quick scans since its getting late here, however they showed nothing but a few cookies so im clean of the msascul.exe i think, may give my system more of a full scan tomorrow

Hope all is well.

I have not got round to running a full scan with them just as of yet i have been battling with the AG winservice -Python.exe service and since i have sorted both problems it seems my system is running somewhat happier :D

Ill keep monitoring it for a short while and see if my current system state is true

well i think i must now go tip a few scales
