I have a problem with a pop-up that appears and disappears immediately. Unfortunately, i can not even see as to what the popup says as it's disappears withing milliseconds. I am currently using Windows 10 on a Asus laptop. My malware (Kaspersky Total Security) is unable to detect any problem. I would really appreciate if you could help me out with the issue.

Hello @AndrewK and :welcome:

Not sure if this is your issue or not, but it sounds like it may be. If you don't think it is, let me know and we scan for malware.

Please see the following post concerning an hourly popup from a Microsoft Office scheduled task. Credit to ArnoldLayne for information about this issue.

OfficeBackgroundTaskHandlerRegistration flashes a window every hour

Quote by Microsoft employee below

Quote

Microsoft’s Gregory Jensen replied: “This issue is fixed starting with build 16.0.8201.2025 which is now available as the latest update for those participating in the Office Insiders Slow program.

“It will be included in a future update for those not participating in Insiders.”

It currently is unclear when exactly the fix will be rolled out for all Office users.

I highly doubt it's the same issue. I tried to check my task bar, and i was not able to identify  officebackgroundtaskhandler.exe. I give you a permission to scan my laptop for malware, let me know what steps should i take. Thank you.

The event logs show quite a few errors. Most are probably not malware related but could be corrupt or other reason why the issues. Need to investigate fixing them up.

The file "malware.txt" you posted was the correct one, however the log shows you chose not to have Malwarebytes remove the PUP items. I would recommend you run Malwarebytes again but this time make sure you tell it to remove them.

 

File: 4
PUP.Optional.MindSpark, C:\USERS\ANDREW KRISTAL\APPDATA\LOCAL\GOOGLE\CHROME\USER DATA\DEFAULT\LOCAL STORAGE\http_getformsonline.dl.tb.ask.com_0.localstorage, No Action By User, [274], [240306],1.0.2092

Then post a new Malwarebytes Threat Scan report after the removal which should then be clean with nothing found.
