UAC prompt on login

[hansenator]

Hello,

I'm hoping someone is more familiar with this than I am.

My friend has a Windows 7 laptop and when he logs in he gets a UAC prompt asking permission for udrive.exe to run. He doesn't know what udrive is or where it came from.

Udrive isn't listed in the installed programs list. I did find the file Udrive.exe on c:\ but I can't find what's trying to run it. There's nothing in the startup folder, I checked in msconfig and it's not listed in the startup items. I also searched the registry for udrive.exe and didn't come up with anything.

I renamed the file and now the UAC prompt doesn't come up but that doesn't really seem like a fix to me. I'd kind of like to know why it was trying to run.

Thanks!

Hello hansenator,

Is there by any chance a flash drive plugged in?
I seem to remember an autorun file on some flash drives that would launch a document manager upon plugging into the system. I believe this may have been called UDrive. Sounds weird that the UDrive.exe would be located on the computer if this is the case, but worth checking anyhow.

No flash drives but that's what it's acting like. Like there's an autorun that tries to start it.
