but I never tried to create a folder called Program, it just comes up by itself.

somewhere, somehow, malware, installed program, task schedule the probable cause is missing quotation marks around c:\program files\blah which then creates the folder c:\program and then errors out.
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
(Nothing here, empty) But it could be in other profiles, as there's a lot of other account profiles on this server
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
(Nothing here, empty) But it could be in other profiles, as there's a lot of other account profiles on this server
I've attached what's in msconfig.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
(The only thing here is my symantec backup exec exe file)
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
(everything.exe is here, which is I know what it is, but then I don't know what this is,
it's MtxHotPlugService.exe v) It's in the system32 directory, so I'm assuming it's part of the OS.
