hi there
whenever i turn on my pc i get 2 error messages (clelvcpa.dll and
atuvasax.dll) how can i find out what applications these relate to?
regards
We will have to guess exactly what the "error message" says and supply
an answer given limited information.
If you are seeing "Cannot find...", "Could not run...", "Error
loading... or "specific module could not be found" messages when
Windows restarts, it is usually related to malicious software that was
set to run at startup but has been deleted by some scanning software.
Windows is trying to load this file but cannot locate it since the
file was mostly likely removed during an scan for malicious software.
However, an associated orphaned registry entry remains and is telling
Windows to load the file when you boot up.
Since the file no longer exists, Windows will display an error
message. You need to remove this registry entry so Windows stops
searching for the file when it loads.
To resolve this, download and install Autoruns, search for the related
entry and then delete it.

Launch Autoruns.exe and wait for it to finish populating the list of
entries.
When it is done scanning, it will say Ready at the bottom.
Scroll through the list and look for a startup entry related to the
file(s) in the error message.
Right-click on the entry and choose delete.
Reboot your computer and see if the startup error returns.
Since you are now or were infected. I also suggest the following:
Perform some scans for malicious software first, then fix any
remaining issues:
Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:
Malwarebytes (MBAM):
http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS):

They can be uninstalled later if desired.
