What is it? It keeps showing up in my srartup file. Do I need to delete it, and if so how.

Here is some recommended reading on the topic (Conime.exe).

Here is another discussion about this file and its variants.

Finally, if you don't already have MBAM installed and updated, download a copy of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (from malwarebytes.org or from my MBAM web page), install it, update it, then scan for malware. Follow the instructions on my page, or in the results file after the scan has completed. It will remove any threats it does find.

Ran MBAM and it didn't find anything. Any way to delete it in safe mode?
