Every time I log onto Windows and after my desktop screen comes up, an error message comes up automatically on startup. This error message box is titled “RunDLL” With the below message: There was a problem Starting. C:\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Conduit\BackgroundContainer\BackgroundContainer.dll. The specified module could not be found. That is really annoying and I cannot find a way to get rid of it. I have run a complete virus scan with McAfee that is on my computer, Malware bytes full scan, and Microsoft scan…..nothing was found. My computer is running Windows 7 and this issue occurred after I installed a toolbar, since then I kept being redirected to a bogus search. Is it a virus? How can I fix the RunDLL error? Any help will be appreciated.
