The error message that keeps posting every FEW min is

AutoIt Error

Line 0 (File "C:\Users|John\cedmw\gmqvh.bui"):
Error: Error opening the file.

I have Bitdefender and Malwarebytes
= Have tried to fix this with both unsuccessfully.

If someone can help me I would be so thankful.

Cheers

Look in C:\Users\John\cedmw. Do you see a file called gmqvh.bui?

[John917]

Thank you for your help.  I don't see the folder cedmw.  I'm not sure if it is hidden or no longer there.

I believe this folder does not exist because I do not see it  with windows explorer having checked with show hidden items

I would do the normal checking for anything out of the ordinary, then. Check your startup items, check the registry for any reference to gmqvh.bui, check the file system for any such reference, etc. Unfortunately, as AutoIt is free and used by many thousands of people we cannot control every app written with the language.

How can I see a registry item associated with AutoIT?

This is likely an compiled script so there is no reference to Autoit3.
You really need to check the health of your computer starting to track back what you installed lately and possibly do a system restore from before that date.
HiJackThis is also an good option to figure out what the system is starting, but this requires basic OS & system knowledge!

Thank you this is very helpful

This found the following

Running processes:
C:\Users\John\cedmw\ndxdx.exe

Now how do I delete it?   Not just stop it?

I have given that answer already, Just look for HiJackThis, which will give all information needed to find the processes started at boot time.
