soundmixer.exe not found error on windows bootup

[Saini1987]

Hi friends,

I get this screen when the windows boot up:



Actually, soundmixer.exe was detected as a virus by McAfee antivirus and i accidentally deleted that .exe file from quarantined items from the antivirus. Now its showing this error. Previously , when this file wasn't deleted, the windows was opening two cmd prompts popups and quick access popup on windows bootup.

Can some one tell me if the soundmixer.exe is actually a virus? If yes how to fix this problem?

Yes it's a virus/malware.

I've posted on another thread minutes ago about this and you can and should use SysInternal's Autoruns for Windows from Mark Russinovich.

This is a Microsoft tool (included on SysInternals Suite) and you can download it directly here:
