SYSWOW64 Folders pop up after reboot

Hi,

This is a bit of a stab in the dark really but, do you know why your antivirus program (or at least parts of it) appears to be installed on a different drive? I would have expected it to be on the same drive as the operating system.

Someone said earlier that your issue could be due to a minor registry problem.

I did not know this. I assume your talking about G DATA? How did you figure this out?

How did you figure this out?

Easy really, post #39 mentioned AVKTray.exe. If you know the right places to look. :wink11a:

SystemLookup - Global Search

I don't know if it should be in that registry key or not but it might be worth reinstalling G Data and leaving everything at default for the install. Then, check that registry key again.

Update;


I decided to remove as many traces of the BS automatic Win 10 "upgrade", and found this page, How to remove Windows 10 upgrade updates in Windows 7 and 8 - gHacks Tech New.
I removed all the updates listed, and then ran the GWX Control Panel from here Ultimate Outsider - Software Downloads
After rebooting several times I no longer have those folders opening up!

Problem solved...... Imagine that.

Don't know if I should even install any more security updates, let alone the regular ones.

Does Microsoft really have the right to force me to upgrade to Win 10?
