Software AutoIT error on boot

[silverdale]

My PC was recently infected and on removal with anti virus SW I'm now left with the annoying pop up box "AutoIT error, Error: Error opening file. and it says it can't open it from /temp.
I searched the registry and in frustration searched for AutoIT atm.exe I think ti was somewhere in prog files.
What does AutoIT do and were has it come from and, how do I stop these random error message pop up's on boot ?

Any use?

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

It's not AutoIT itself giving the error but a program created using it. Try finding what is being run at startup.

AutoIT is some sort of tool for writing software.

It looks like it has been used to write malware in the past at least so you might still have a malware executable somewhere although it probably doesn't do anything now.

Since the malware's files have been removed it gives the error when it runs.
