Odd that systemlook couldn't find it….

it says it's a file rather than a folder, so lets try this


  • Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
  • Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:

    :file
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\grtg
  • Click the Look button to start the scan.
  • When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.
Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt
