If you mean you are getting A "Cannot find...", "Could not run...", "Error loading... or "specific module could not be found" message is usually related to malware that was set to run at startup but has been deleted. Windows is trying to load this file but cannot locate it since the file was mostly likely removed during an anti-virus or anti-malware scan. However, an associated orphaned registry entry remains and is telling Windows to load the file when you boot up. Since the file no longer exists, Windows will display an error message. You need to remove this registry entry so Windows stops searching for the file when it loads.
To resolve this, download Autoruns, search for the related entry and then delete it.
Create a new folder on your hard drive called AutoRuns (C:\AutoRuns) and extract (unzip) the file there. (click here if you're not sure how to do this.)
Open the folder and double-click on autoruns.exe to launch it.
Please be patient as it scans and populates the entries.
When done scanning, it will say Ready at the bottom.
Scroll through the list and look for a startup entry related to the file(s) in the error message.
Right-click on the entry and choose delete.
Reboot your computer and see if the startup error returns.
Nope, it's not a startup error. But I have a file that's on my start up called lapxemav. I can remove that using hijack this...but it's still in the startup in the configuration, because the files not gone, it's just shut off. My question is how I remove this lapxemav file? Would I use autoruns for that?
----
I ran autoruns and there's some that say file not found, is it okay if I remove those or no?
The ones I am not sure about:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved
Display panning CPL Extension ----- File not found: deskpan.dll (For this file, I told it search online and I got this: "Although it is a part of a CPL extension, it would not affect the systems capabilities when it is altered or deleted.")
-----------------------------------
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
Changer ----- File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\Changer.sys (When I searched online for this I found that it's A system file for Service Pack 2...Is it necessary?)
GMSIPC ----- File not found: E:\INSTALL\GMSIPCI.SYS (I searched the web and it tells me this is 11% dangerous, so I ran RegistryBooster, but, it will only fix 15 of my 1217 errors...Unless I buy it.)
i2omgmt ----- File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\i2omgmt.sys (Says this is a 0% threat and is probably harmless)
lbrtfdc ----- File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\lbrtfdc.sys (Web tells me this is has to do with a floppy controller, and may not be necessary.)
MSICPL ----- File not found: E:\install4\MSICPL.sys (The web tells me this probably has to do with my nvidia drivers. I'm using an ATI Radeon card in my machine now though)
NTACCESS ----- File not found: E:\NTACCESS.sys (The web tells me this may be 12% dangerous, but no reviews)
PCIDUMP ----- File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\PCIDUMP.sys (The web tells me this "%System%\drivers\pcidump.sys
%System%\malware\malware\ed45782.sys
%Temp%\sxkiller.sys" Meaning it's a malware. I guess so I removed it.)
PDCOMP ----- File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\PDCOMP.sys (The web tells me this may or may not be necessary. So I unchecked it for now.)
PDFRAME ----- File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\PDFRAME.sys (The web tells me this may or may not be necessary. So I unchecked it for now.)
PDRELI ----- File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\PDRELI.sys (The web tells me this may or may not be necessary. So I unchecked it for now.)
PDRFRAME ----- File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\PDRFRAME.sys (The web tells me this may or may not be necessary. So I unchecked it for now.)
SetupNTGLM7X ----- File not found: E:\NTGLM7X.sys (The web tells me this may be a 40% threat, but someone commented that it's essential for windows)
WDICA ----- File not found: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\WDICA.sys (The web tells me this may or may not be necessary. So I unchecked it for now.)
-----------------------------------
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
vidc.ffds ----- File not found: C:\PROGA~1\COMBIN~1\Filters\FFDSHOW\ff_vfw.dll (This I think is just a codec that's useless, so would it be alright to remove this?)
Also in:
HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\{08386F1-70DE-11d0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\Instance
There's a few more FFDSHOW stuff:
ffdshow Audio Decoder
ffdshow Audio Processor
ffdshow raw video filter
ffdshow subtitles filter
ffdshow Video Decoder
Later, I also found these:
HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\{08386F1-70DE-11d0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\Instance
Matroska Source ----- C:\windows\system32\matroskadx.ax (Possible virus? The web couldn't tell me.)
Matroska Splitter ----- C:\windows\system32\matroskadx.ax (Possible virus? The web couldn't tell me.)
WIA Stream Snapshot Filter ----- C:\windows\system32\wiasf.ax (Possible virus? The web couldn't tell me.)
Other than that everything looks familiar or I know what it's for. Now, I am going to remove any unncessary programs.
