Hi, everytime I log onto windows, and annoyingly when i'm in thte middle of
an application, my computer gives me the following error message:

'Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\kernels64.exe'. Make sure you
typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the
start button, and then click search'.

I was infected with a virus which seemed to have caused this, but I bought
Anti virus software and this removed it, but now this annoying window will
not go away.

I have looked at other people's questions on here and have tried some things
but can't seem to fix this.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Hopfully not having to reinstal windows?
 
Get StartMan and/or Startup Control Panel and disable or delete the startup
referrence for kernels64.exe

[[StartMan is an extended 'msconfig' Startup Manager, designed to take
control of all those pesky programs and background services that load and
run at logon - most of which you probably don't need. As well as providing
the usual trouble-shooting options to enable or disable startups, StartMan
also permits the removal of startups.
Duplicate Detection and Removal, a unique feature of StartMan, can be
configured to remove all duplicates automatically, with or without
prompting.
Orphan Detection and Removal. As above, for orphaned startups.
Executable Detection and Removal. As above, for executables.
Includes a full range of sorting options to make it easier to locate a
specific startup - by name, by filename - even by command line parameter! ]]

StartMan v1.3.96

Startup Control Panel is another pretty good application.

[[Startup Control Panel is a nifty control panel applet that allows you to
easily configure which programs run when your computer starts. It's simple
to use and, like all my programs, is very small and won't burden your
system. A valuable tool for system administrators!]]

Download the EXE Version and just extract the executable wherever you want.
