Every time I restart my computer it wants to run some downloader213706.exe file I always hit cancel as do not know what it is - what is this file anyway.

--- adopted from http://windowsvc.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=windowsvc&wr_id=50371 ---

How do I remove this annoying dialog box at start-up as I read, below, and wanting to know wil this work?

Startup type : Registry Startup, [HKLM..Run] or [HKCU..Run]
Display Name : Softango Downloader213706.exe
Path : C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\Softango Downloader213706.exe /XML=C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\E7DE.tmp /STP=0:1

How to remove startup entry.
Open a command prompt. (Run a command prompt as Administrator in Windows vista/7)
Copy command line and Paste.

echo Start
echo #
echo ######################## Default dirctory for x86 x64 ########################
echo #
echo this command is default system32 directory for x86 OS or x64 OS
cd %windir% & cd system32
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "Softango Downloader213706.exe" /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "Softango Downloader213706.exe" /f
echo #
echo ######################## Change the dirctory for x64 ########################
echo #
echo this command is x86 application's registry for x64 OS
cd %windir% & cd syswow64
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "Softango Downloader213706.exe" /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "Softango Downloader213706.exe" /f
echo End


Done.!
Close the command prompt.

Troubleshooting ComboFix

Safe Mode:

If you still cannot get ComboFix to run, try booting into Safe Mode, and run it there.

(To boot into Safe Mode, tap F8 after BIOS, and just before the Windows
logo appears. A list of options will appear, select "Safe Mode.")

Re-downloading:

If this doesn't work either, try the same method (above method), but try to download it again, except name
ComboFix.exe to iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, or winlogon.exe.

Malware is known for blocking all "user" processes, except for its whitelist of system important processes such as iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, winlogon.exe.

NOTE: If you encounter a message "illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion" and no programs will run - please just reboot and that will resolve that error.
