Computer tries to start program that's no longer installed.
First off, I want to say that this is not a problem, but only an annoyance.
After upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10 on my sister-in-law's laptop, the computer tries to start up this program about every 2 minutes:
As you can see, it is no longer installed, so maybe it was a toolbar or some such that was attached to Internet Explorer, and was abandoned with the upgrade. I really don't know. That path no longer exists. I suspect that it's calling some kind of malware. I have done deep scans with both Windows Defender (lots of malware found) then Malwarebytes (no malware found) I have been unable to find where this program is being called from. It's not being called with the normal startup programs and I've looked at the start up programs called up from the registry (using regedit32) also, but I suspect it is indeed being called from the registry and there is probably more than one place to look, but I don't know where that is.
If anyone has some insight into how to get rid of this annoyance, I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.
