"Run Once" programs every day on start

I'm getting a message from one of my security apps every day when I start my computer. The message is about a program that has no identifiable company origination. My security program identifies it as a 'run once' program that usually indicates a download program.

The program that wants to 'run once' only shows a 10 digit ID number, and each day when I get the notice from my security application, the number starts with 142xxxxxxx.. I think the program may have something to do with Java update.

Has anyone else had some similar experience. Is the program some sort of virus? I don't get any virus indications from AVG

Thanks for any comment/help. You guys are the best.

That unidentified program with just numbers is from Adobe.
It will take me awhile to track down the thread. This is WinPatrol reporting it, correct?

 

Ploder:

The initial popup on this simply said there was a run once program wanting to run. I thought that was a Windows message.

Funny you should mention Winpatrol. I don't remember if they put up the original messages, but I went to their winpatrolplus website for more info and they didn't have anything on it for additional info as to where it came from or if it was safe.

Today one of my other programs (AVG) picked up on it with a lot of additional id material behind the 142XXXXXX. At the end of the indicators was something about Flash exe. AVG deleted it on my order. . Their message indicated it came from Flash exe.

I haven't done anything about following the info and instructions from the previous response re SINO.

Thanks to both you guys for the assist on this.

Cheers, wildbill2u

 

Sorry, I got sidetracked. Between the snow and having to take my husband to the hospital for scheduled surgery (in the snow) this thread got forgotten.

Have a read here

Even though it says run once, every time Adobe checks for updates, you will get this Run Once popup starting with 14XXXXXXX.

 

Thanks. I went to the Adobe website that deals with this issue of the daily "run once" file. . Apparently their only fix is to logoff and relog in. Or run this file manually every time.

I have another fix. How about I uninstall Adobe reader and/or use another default program? Since AVG picked up the file as part of flash exe if I uninstall Adobe will I lose whatever benefits flash gives me on websites? In other words is the flash part of Adobe an intergral part of the Adobe PDF program and one that I will lose if I don't stay with Adobe? Not sure if I'm making myself clear here?

Cheers, Wildbill

 

I do not have Adobe Reader, I replaced it with Sumatra years ago.
I do have Adobe flash installed, both the activex for IE and the plugin for non-IE browsers. I have WinPatrol Pro working in real time. I don't get this alert.

What you might be able to do, is look over AVG and add an exception. I had to do that in my av for something I knew was okay and did not want popups about it.

And another option, set flash to not check for updates. Ordinarily flash is patched on Patch Tuesday. This month was unusual with 2 extra flash patches on the 23rd and the 25th.
