Both those files belong to malware. Either you uninstalled the malware
program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In any case, a reference
was left to the file in Startup. You can remove the reference by managing
your Startup.
Because you had malware it would be a good idea to scan. I recommend
downloading and installing MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) from
http://www.malwarebytes.org. The program is free. (There is a paid version
but you don't need to buy it to remove malware.)
Manage Startup:
Start>Run>msconfig [enter]
This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and
find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK
out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll
get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in
effect, "don't bother me about this again".

The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup -
