Unknown message at start up

Recently as I start up my computer, which has a Windowx XP Home Edition operating system, I get this message:

"Could not load 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\xxwvu.exe' specified in the registry. Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the registry"

I then click OK and it goes away, but everytime I restart the computer it comes up with it again. How do I get rid of it and is it something that may be causing my computer to go slow as it seems to be doing lately/

Your help would be appreciated.

Kind regardTasmania

It's dodgy. Something has removed the file so the dodgy program can't find it and is giving you the message.

Go to the Hijack This part of the forum. Read the rules in the top post and post a log for checking.

OK OK I can't go any faster! aaaaaaaaaaaagh!

Tasmania, this is linked directly to your other post in Security where you describe your problems with AVG.
