    Hi forum, I just recently removed a program called Relevant Knowledge which I did not remember installing in my PC. After researching about the program, it was said that its freaking spyware. I scanned it with SpyBot S&D and it was detected as a spyware, I removed the program. Then I restarted my PC, after clicking the OK on the login bottom, I got this error [​IMG]. my PC started to slow and slower. If anyone can help me fixing this that would be great, TY!!

    go to the registry and search for that file name, delete any of the entries that have that file name there and you should be good. To get to the registry to the run box and type regedit.

    You can also check to make sure it isn't in the start up folder of your start menu. You can go to run and type 'msconfig' and that will give you a section for items on startup.

    you could try running malware bytes, it's a great anti-malware application.
