Sifus, after laptop start small menu appears with word aewdu.exe and question To run this application must download .Net Core yes/no. What is this mean? Also sometimes 1,2or3 black squares appear and disappear very quickly like 0.2 seconds. Like the black square appear when you want to do ping. This means laptop hacked already? How to make good? Tq sifus.

Your laptop is Asus ?


See if the path/source is similar, if it is, then it's safe.

I photoed the menu box which came out with the words aewdu.exe but can't upload here. Too big file it says. Sorry. I cannot photo the black squares because they appear and disappear very quickly.

Yes Asus laptop. I found aewdu.exe is listed as a file created by Asus so like you say it's safe but I don't want to download the .Net Core to run it. I don't know what these 2 does. How does I get rid of the menu box that comes out every time asking this?

Thanks. Although I know now what it is, don't think I'll download to install aewdu.com.
