Keep getting this error pop up..Malware/Spyware?

[seanyc5]

Hi,

I keep getting this error pop up



I have ran windows defender/malware bytes/zemana free/adw cleaner/ESET online(doing another scan now after all the other once removed more things) all are now clear! each picked up a few things ( I have only been using the built in windows for about 2 years)

After removing everything with said programs and re-installing/resetting chrome this pop up now comes about every 5 mins after boot.

Said folder is not actual there even with hidden folders being shown. Google somehow does not bring up any results for the path mentioned "yiyu\xmhl.dkk".

I really want to avoid a format and reinstall!

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sean

It could have been a version of PowerDVD I tried as the trial version did not support HDR and I wanted to try it before spending the £50 asking price!

Its has been uninstalled now though as my PC can not handle HEVC with a 980ti. I cant seem to find anything on google could you link me to what you found please?

Thanks, yeah I see powerDVD mentioned there. I went ahead and formatted in the end, not done it since the build when skylake launched!

Now I have the 'core' programs installed again and all updates etc.. Is the built in windows image tool any good? Have never used such software before, I would like to make a drive image and store it on my 3TB HDD so its a 10 min job next time.

Thanks,
Sean
