  Hello

  This is probably the result of malware then do a very thorough check and when the
  the system is clean see the following message to remove this error.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to do a thorough check and removal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect the cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to detect malicious software is often accompanied by a much harder to detect and remove the payload. So its best to be now too thorough than paying the high price later. Check with them to an extreme exaggeration, and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  HOW TO START YOUR COMPUTER IN SAFE MODE

  1. Restart your computer if it is running.
  2. Press the F8 key after your computer powers initially.
  3. Once you see the menu Advanced Startup Options , you can stop tapping.
  4. Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
  5. Select Safe Mode with network and press enter.
  6. You should see loading drivers and then Please wait.
  7. You should then be on the Welcome screen.

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
