Every time I startup my computer, I get this strange folder/application properties that pops up for Cfg or CFG.exe.  Is there anway to remove this?  Thanks for your help in advanced!

Pop-up’s like the one you describe become the most annoying as you are constantly closing them every single time you start up your computer.  It gets to be a drag and it just seems like a harmless settings error or incorrect installation.  In reality, the problem you are having with the cfg.exe and cfg display of folder properties is added by the W32/Bdoor-ZAR backdoor worm.

Try the steps below to remove your error that pop’s-up during startup and you should be opening up to a desktop without any annoying problems!

Do a scan with our faithful tool: Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware!

  • Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select “Perform Quick Scan”, then click Scan.
  • The scan may take some time to finish, so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. <– very important
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Extra Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM. (You may need this for a later post on the forums!)

After your scan is complete, reboot and check for the error.

As a safety precaution, I recommend downloading and running a scan for SUPERAntiSpyware but you should be error free by this point!  Good luck!
