Hi Everyone,
My computer was recently infected with malware, which I got rid of with Malwarebytes, but I have this lingering irritating error message from windows everytime I start the computer. A printscreen of the error message is attached, but essentially the error message states that there was an error starting a certain .dll file, because the file could not be found. I've looked up the .dll file and it was part of the malware. So, my question has 2 parts:
1. What in the windows startup process directs the OS to search for, and run certain files?
2. How do I stop windows from looking for, and attempting to start that file in the future? I super tired of seeing the message.
THanks!
