Hi,

I've been having problems with my computer running very slowly; the problems seemed to start after the last Windows automatic updates this week. I ran a virus scan, Spybot scan, Malwarebytes, CC Cleaner and Registry Scrub,created a restore point and then reinstalled the downloads; nothing seems to work. Now when I reboot I get this error message on startup: Windows is unable to find the file c:\WINDOWS\is-5UA14.exe. What is this file? It does not come up on a file search, and I can't find any info on it. Please help! Thanks a lot!

I suggest that you start a new topic in the Malware Removal and Spyware Removal area.

Before you start a new topic click on this link --> Malware and Spyware Cleaning Guide, Please read before starting a new topic. This will give you a few preparations to make, as well as instruction for posting your OTListIt2 log.

If you are still having problems after being given a clean bill of health from the malware expert, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).

Thanks for the speedy reply. I seem to have gotten everything fixed except that now Windows can't find that one .exe file on bootup. It doesn't seem to be a necessary file. My best guess is that it has something to do with Windows power management (because of the "5UA" in the file name). Since I first posted I ran a rootkit scan that also came up clean; I doubt I have a malware issue, so I'll just keep tinkering with it for now.

You need to create new topic at malware section.
That missing file error may be just simply registry startup leftover, but I have no authority to discuss possible malware issues in this forum.
