Is this popup a virus?

[ImpGuard]

When I uninstall an app that is currently open as a tray notification type app (bottom right), I see a popup that looks pretty old-school notifying me that "something.exe will no longer auto-start". It has a red border at the bottom, and I've never seen it before.

I just got done cleaning my computer from a malware attack, and everything I've thrown at it (malwarebytes, hitman pro, avira, spybot etc.) and it seems like I have no more viruses/malware that I can find. I originally also did a fresh install of my windows after erasing my drive completely, but strangely enough, a few malware survived.

I feel I've cleaned up everything, but this popup seems quite strange. I can't seem to find anything about this popup, so does anyone have any ideas?

how about a picture?

or the actual name of the process?

i doubt its called something.exe

No, the something is whatever I'm uninstalling. It's acting like a notification telling me that whatever I just uninstalled will not auto-start. Like if I uninstalled avira it notifies me that "Avira.exe will no longer auto-start".

I'll try getting a picture.

Thanks.

Disable it in msconfig from the startup and/or service tab if you can identify it then reboot, maybe it'll help.

I found the answer. It isn't a virus, thankfully. It's part of Revo Uninstaller, which I am using to uninstall my applications.

then it probably autostarts to monitor things installing so it can fully uninstall them by tracking exactly what they install where
