That likely from a malware or trojan. Be thankful it's not loading any
more. You can get rid of it by doing Start > Run > type regedit and
press enter.

In regedit, click Edit > Find, and in the Find window, type the name
mkscbnan.dl in the field and press "find next". It will search for
where this entry is and give you an option to blow away the registry
key that used to point to it. It'll like appear in
HKey_Currect_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

It is safe to delete the entry.

Did the error start of a malware attack? A google search on mkscbnan.dll
gives no results, which suggests that part of an infestation was not
removed. You can remove orphan entries using Autoruns.

A safer way than msconfig to disable / remove unwanted start up items is
to use Autoruns.

With Autoruns you can uncheck an item, which disables it from starting,
or you can can right click an item and then delete it. If you uncheck
you can recheck to re-enable the item. It is a much safer approach than
editing the Registry. Another useful feature of the programme is that
you can right click an item and select Search Online to get information
about the item selected.

Hope this helps.

It's possible some malware was deleted by your a/v software, but the
reference to the file was not removed from the registry.

Click Start, Run, type REGEDIT, click OK. Press the Home key, press F3,
type the name of the file into the search pane. Click "Find Next", and
when located, delete the reference to the file. Press F3 to continue
the search.

You can click File, Export, and save the entry to the Desktop. If you
remove it and there's a problem, double-click the .reg file you exported
to the Desktop and it'll be added to the registry again. You can create
a restore point before editing the registry too.

You could click Start, Run, type MSCONFIG, click OK, click the StartUp
tab, and deselect the item(s). When you restart the computer, you will
be warned that you're running in the Diagnostic mode; click to not alert
you again, and OK out. You won't see the message again. But I think
it's best to just remove the references from the registry.
