Hello,

I turned my laptop on today to find that a startup program had been blocked, i checked out what it was, it's called:

Setup.exe,
the Display name & Publisher is: exec

Also, i did think that it was just a windows file, but then i wondered, Why would windows block it's own files, and if the computer's working fine with the file blocked, its probably not a windows file.

So, i searched the internet, and only found one peice of info on it,
apparently its a file that will store all of my passwords and credit card details (or anything that i typed into forms) and then the publishers of the file can see what ive typed into those forms.

Problem is, I don't want to go deleting it because if it IS an important file, i don't want to have to do things to my laptop.

PLEASE HELP
Thanks
