hi guys i notice this ( %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k ) on the start up and don't know what it is.

googling it came up with with this many hits

%systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k - Google Search

And it looks as if its malware. Castlecops shut down as of Dec 28,08 and they were a good place to go to to get info on this kind of stuff. I am not familiar with what site is comparable to Castle Cops, being a linux user.

This is a valid file - see:

dumprep.exe - Program Information

Used in connection with memory dumps

I stand corrected. Thanks, VopThis.

thanks guys for your response, i thought it was some kind of virus or spyware etc.
