When I boot into windows I have a window show up in the taskbar named setup and it changes to downloader. No window pops up on the screen and it goes away. How can I find out what it is? Thanks!

I tried that but it goes away too fast. I don't see anything it could be in the task manager running.

Or a third offer.
Run this in a command prompt (with admin privilege). Restart your computer and see what entries are in the event logs.
for /F "tokens=*" %1 in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO wevtutil.exe cl "%1"

Event viewer shows SetupARservice error. I tried disabling that service. Still happening.
Only other error in event viewer is service control manager. The downloader/setup seems to be harmless. I use Breakaway audio enhancer and since SetupARservice is realtek something, I thought it might be that. I can't figure it out, it bugs me. I have disabled every startup thing except AVAST trying to get rid of it, it's always there.
Should I be looking only for errors in the event viewer? I have looked at everything there, I don't see what else it could be. Hope it is enough information to give you guys some ideas. Really shouldn't be this difficult.

Probably, but I can't get it to go away when disabling Breakaway completely. Guess I will just uninstall things until it goes away just to see what it is.

So, AVAST started detecting this thing as a threat when I booted my computer. Something in the temp folder. I looked in task scheduler and had two things. Skypeautoupdater and Skypeupdate. I don't even have Skype or ever had Skype on my computer, lol. I disabled them and all is well now. I don't know where it came from.
