This is probably a residue of a malware/virus infection that your virus
scanner cleaned up. There is still a reference to it in your startup tasks -
hence the error message. You can deal with it like so:
- Click Start / Run / msconfig{Enter}
- Click the Startup tab.
- Untick unknown items in this list. Leave the virus scanner in place.
- Reboot the machine.

If this fixes the problem then one of the unticked items caused it. If
it doesn't then you need to untick more items.

Note that unticking items will NOT prevent your machine from starting.
It may, however, reduce the functionality of some applications such
as RealPlayer. Since the process is completely reversible, there is
nothing to worry about.

Your issue is a prime example of why good registry cleaners are needed.
Don't listen to the others who say registry cleaners are "snake oil". To fix
your issue automatically, download CCleaner from here
http://www.ccleaner.com/ install it and when you run it select the registry
icon on the left to clean your registry. Let it fix all but choose to backup
when prompted. Your problem should then be fixed.

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting
directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to
pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST
Block list, and who provides a tool for your use that will block access
to reputable anti-malware sites without telling you he's doing it?

Do you really want to trust someone that has had to change their posting
identity after being busted by MS as a fake MVP?

Stalking is a crime butts, stop stalking me.

If it's a crime, WHY don't you do something about it, rather than just
re-stating yourself over and over again? I've seen your comment about
this repeatedly. DO IT! Or stop replying to them.
