Regsvr32.exe is a legitimate Windows procedure used to annals and unregister OLE controls such as .dll (Dynamic Link Library) modules or ActiveX Controls (OCX) files which too tin can be legitimate or sometimes malware related.

It's non unusual to receive such an error when "booting upward" afterward using anti-virus and other security scanning tools to remove a malware infection.

A "Cannot find...", "Could not run...", "Error loading... or "specific module could not be constitute" message is ordinarily related to a malware file that has been deleted. Windows is trying to load this file but cannot locate information technology since the file was mostly likely removed during an anti-virus or anti-malware scan. Yet, an associated orphaned registry entry still remains and is telling Windows to load the file when you boot up. Since the file no longer exists, Windows volition display an mistake message. You lot need to remove this registry entry so Windows stops searching for the file when information technology loads.

To resolve this, download Autoruns , search for the related entry then delete information technology.

Create a new folder on your hard drive called AutoRuns (C:\AutoRuns) and extract (unzip) the file there. (click hither if you're not sure how to practise this. Vista users refer to this link.)
Open the binder and double-click on autoruns.exe to launch information technology.
Please exist patient as information technology scans and populates the entries.
When washed scanning, it will say Set up at the bottom.
Scroll through the listing and look for a startup entry related to the file(s) in the error message.
Right-click on the entry and cull delete.
Reboot your calculator and see if the startup mistake returns.

If you're going to continue and apply Autoruns, be sure to read:

Who�s That Hiding in my Windows? Autoruns: A Two Minute Drill
What to uncheck and what not

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (v1.34) and save information technology to your desktop.

Now rescan again with MBAM but this time perform a Total Scan in normal mode and check all items found for removal. Don't forgot to check for database definition updates through the plan'southward interface ( preferable way ) before scanning and to reboot later on. Failure to reboot normally (not into condom way) volition foreclose MBAM from removing all the malware. When washed, click the Logs tab and copy/paste the contents of the new report in your next reply.
