You either have or had some spyware infection. If you are still
infected, find yourself a good Spyware removal tool and/or antivirus
program to clean it up.

If you already have spyware removed, you need to find the registry entry
that is looking for this file. Try a google search for "kernels64.exe"
for more help.

I had the same problem on my computer. I recently found this a website that
told me what to do and it's gone. Here's what they said:

(Look at the registry by starting REGEDIT.EXE from the Run box.)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

This branch has an entry named 'Shell' which should simply say 'explorer.exe'.

In case of an infestation, it will have the ibm0001.exe (or ..) as an
argument after explorer.exe, e.g. like this:
Shell: explorer.exe "c:\ibm00001.exe"
Shell: explorer.exe 'c:\Windows\System32\kernels64.exe'
Modify this registry entry back to 'explorer.exe' only. and delete the file
kernels64.exe which may be located either in c:\ or in c:\Windows\System32

It worked for me!
