I have been having some problems with my HP Pavilion, running Windows
8.1. It seemed to be loaded up with trash and other forms of malware.
I bought an on-line copy of Malwarebites, installed it and ran it this
morning. Everything went very well and most of the problems seem to
have been eradicated...but, I keep getting a pop-up saying,

There was a problem starting
C:\Gordon\ApData\Local\ARCADE~1\CATHEL~1.DLL
The specified module could not be found.

What is causing this, and how can I get rid of it?

Thanks, Gordon

Use Ccleaner and clean the registry. It'll remove any entry linking to
that module.

As well as some possibly necessary items, according to some people who
post here.

I can't recommend that procedure to a novice operator.

In fact, I'm not a novice operator, and I find the list of items that
CCleaner offers to remove way too large for reasonable judgment calls...

I'm beginning to think this is a registry problem that resulted when
Malwarebytes removed the associated program but didn't remove the
registry entry. How can I check this out? Gordon

You said it continues to happen after a reboot, so the check the usually
autorun areas of the Registry. Among the good stuff, something will look out
of whack.
