AUTOIT Error Line 0

[RISHMAYA]

I am getting this error in every boot up in windows 8.1. Please help me to resolve it. 

[Earthshine]

You have some kind of virus

[RISHMAYA]

so how to fix it?

 

[RISHMAYA]

should I delete that SysWOW64 folder? I am not getting any file named ooo

 

[BrewManNH]

Definitely do NOT delete that folder, or try to, you probably can't anyways. It is vital to the operating system. Look for any programs that are starting at log in that you don't recognize and rename/delete those.

[Earthshine]

lol, no. that is the base system itself

use Autoruns to find out what is starting that, and DELETE it, delete the file it runs too.

it's not so much you had an error, you had some malware installed that was trying to run an autoit script that probably had malicious intent. your refresh install set you back to normal but that stupid exe may still be on your system

I would do full virus and malware scans too

autolt error

(file

"c:\User\User/AppData\Local\Disk\autolt3\Settings.au3"):

How to fix this problem ?

THIS is not an Autoit issue. THIS is due to some screw ups by Antivirus definition.

I recently have that too when I try to compile scripts, run compiled scripts. But no problem if not in exe.

Does the code run without problem when you do not compile it ?

You can't be sure of that until you see the code.

There are mixed two types of slashes (back and forth) \ / inside full path.

Use only \

This is the complete au3 file I tried to compile to exe.

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 AutoIt Version: 3.3.14.5
 Author:         myName

 Script Function:
    Template AutoIt script.

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Script Start - Add your code below here

It is a blank template, and Windows10 antivirus flagged it as a virus.

This started this over the weekend for me and still happening today.

PS. AU3 scripts no problem; only the compiled ones I am having problem.

Try to compile an exemple script from the help file. If it do the same read the pined topic about antivirus and false positive

Add (all) directories containing your AutoIt's EXE files to exclude list of your antivirus software.
