    • Create a folder on your desktop called "autoruns"
    • Extract the contents of the Autoruns.zip file into the autoruns folder you created.
    • Now open this folder by double-clicking it.
    • Now double-click autoruns.exe to run. (Vista and Win7 right-click and select Run as administrator)
    • Click the Agree button to agree to the license if you receove this notice.

    • Note: Autoruns will automatically start scanning your system for autorun entries. This process is typically finished within 15 seconds.
    • When you see Ready at the bottom-left corner of the Autoruns program, the scan is complete.
    • Now click File > Save
    • Change the Save as type: to Text (*.txt)
    • Save AutoRuns.txt to your desktop or another location you can easily access it.
    • Attach AutoRuns.txt to your next message. (How to attach items to your post)
    • If the autoruns.txt file is too large to attach, put into a ZIP file and attach the ZIP file.
