Could be the remains of a virus / adware. I would run the following just to be sure:
Combofix (Win 7 / Vista / XP) http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/ (make sure there is nothing in the recycle bin that is needed, as this empty's it)
Adware Cleaner http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/
Junkware Removal Tool http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool/
Chances are its something that is trying to load in startup but cannot find it.
Quick option is to disable it in msconfig (task manager if win 8)
Else use something like Ccleaner to remove it in the startup section http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup507.exe
or remove it using regedit (delete the key that maches the name in the error):
HK Local Machine > Software > Microsoft > Windows > Current Version > Run / Run Once
or
HK Current User > Software > Microsoft > Windows > Current Version > Run / Run Once
