This is a very unclear question.

Maybe try start -> run -> msconfig and have a look at the startup tab. Be carefull though because you can easily render your system useless if not done with care.

I checked in startup tab like you said but i couldn't find,
here is my problem,
i think someone spying on me via an Exe like scheduled task, but i check all scheduled task and disabled all and checked all services but i couldn't find, i think you ma understand my problem.

Somebody can only actively spy on you if the program is running. You could check the task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) and choose to view processes of all users omn processes tab. If it is running it should be there.

you are right but i checked taskmnger also an application appearing and suddenly disappear it cannot catch

1 solution

You could try something like Microsoft Safety Scanner but is limited to 10 days or any other spyware scanner / removal tool. I can't really recommend any of them because I only use linux at home. My work system is windows 7 but it has a corporate virus scanner and limited software installed.

If I would have to choose I would try this option. I don't have any experience with it myself but it is free and seems legit. It also has pretty good ratings/reviews:

If you would like to go hardcore you could also try SysInternals RootkitRevealer:

Good luck!

There isn't much else to do. It could just be an installed program checking for updates on system startup and then shutting down. If you are really suspicious and have some spare time you could reinstall windows as a last resort.
