Have you run an antivirus scan lately? The type of problem you describe is
usually the result of an AV program finding a virus, deleting it, but leaving
behind a reference in the Windows registry that launches it at startup. Since
the virus has been deleted, you receive an error message that the file can't be
found. Here's how to fix the problem;

Download and run this program from Microsoft.

AutoRuns for Windows v9.0

Look on the Everything page for an entry that includes tguurwvi.dll in the Image
Path column.
Remove the check mark from the box next to this entry.
Close Autoruns.
Restart your computer to make sure the error message is no longer displayed.

Just to be on the safe side, you might consider taking steps to make sure your
system is virus free. Here's a site with general instructions on cleaning a
computer.

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.
