Autoit error on startup

[dunsin]

.Have got a problem on every startup..  I dont know from where it started some time after I installed AVG

Welcome to Autoit and the forum!

What does the AVG log show?
Does it run correctly when you (temporarily) exclude C:\Google from AVG?

[Juvigy]

The AVG which is an ativirus/firewall, right? I guess it is blocking your autoit scripts.. Add an exception.

If the OP is not aware of this script, or what it does, do you really believe the answer is to create an exception in the AV?

Check the AV log as water suggests. Run a scan of the machine. If you don't know how that script got there, I wouldn't go allowing it free reign in the system.

it's malware. AVG is doing it's job.
