Hello, I am new to being a more than basic Malware fighter,

I run AVG Premium Security on my Pavilion 6v6. When I run the Fix Performance (Quick Tune), i get the following reported in the Registry Error:

32: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft
Windows\Current Version\Run\Conime

It is listed in the Catagory: Autostart

I have and Run Malwarebytes Pro AVG 2012, and Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool. Only the AVG Fix Performance program finds this and temporarily removes/fixs it. So I am wondering if this is a real program or the Malware program. And thoughts.

I have also run Kaspersky Maiware remover program and Hitman Pro. Neither have found this either. So I am just wondering?

Hi, Shade:

Welcome.
Sorry your post was overlooked.

Here is an older topic from the MBAM forum regarding this detection:

It appears to be a legit file, but I suppose it's possible that it could be infected.
Or it might be a FP by AVG, especially if MBAM and your other anti-malware/anti-virus tools don't pick it up.
So, you might want to report it at the AVG forum/support to see what they say.

If you would like the MBAM engineers to analyze the file in question, please start with the instructions in this pinned topic: http://forums.malwar...showtopic=66190
Then please post the requested info in a new topic here: http://forums.malwar...hp?showforum=51

If you would like a qualified malware expert to assist you with running some scans to be sure the system is clean, please follow the recommendations in this sticky topic: Available Assistance For Possibly Infected Computers.
One of the helpers will guide you through some diagnostics.

Sorry Dale,
I am really new and learning this stuff. What does FP mean? Is it Fix Performance?
I will report it to AVG. Thanks. Will let you know and try and do the other things you suggested.
Thanks
