    Thanks for the logs. In my opinion:

    Please remove and/or keep off the system:
    TweakBit Driver Updater couldn’t find this. uninstalled tweaking.com repair tool
    Auslogics couldn’t find this
    Yahoo Companions/YFriendsBar couldn’t find this



    Total AV has also been removed. (If ADWCleaner/Malwarebytes doesn't like it, neither do I.)

    Is the error still showing after a reboot?

    You might have a read here, and see if there is a task of the error file you can delete.
    Scheduled Tasks - Malwarebytes Labs | Malwarebytes Labs
    .
    Also, if it's still showing on reboot, perhaps run Malwarebytes Antimalware:
    Removal instructions for TweakBit Driver Updater - Malware Removal Self-Help Guides - Malwarebytes Forums

    Be sure to check the box to scan for rootkits.

    Added commemts above...

    I had this problem a few weeks ago. It was a different .EXE though. No matter what i done, i could not find the source. I updated my Virus Definitions, then rebooted in Safe Mode, then ran a FULL Complete System Scan. It found things, and that took care of it.

    If you are still getting the popup message at bootup, press the Windows and "R" keys simultaneously, type "taskmgr" into the "Run" box, click on the "Startup" tab and look for "etrvdruu.exe". If you find it, right-click it and disable it.

    Try with autoruns.

    Something in startup (could be scheduled task, autostart entry, runone key, etc) is trying to start a non-existent program. It should find it.

    Click on the "Everything" tab, then Crtl+F to find the program name.

    Have a look in the windows registry for sduiwtjj and etrvdruu one by one. Use the RegScanner utility by nirsoft, so in case it is found it can show you the dates of the registry entry creations. If the entry is there the dates may help you narrow down your search for any programs you may have downloaded at that time.
