Hi,

I've been having a problem whenever I boot up my Computer, I see a display error message.

It says exactly:

Windows cannot find ""C:\WINDOWS\sembako-chzjloh.exe"". Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button and then click Search.

I have tried downloading the adaware software and when ever I try to install it pops up an error message

What can I do now to rectify this

First things first;
Boot to safe mode and remove this from the startup.
To access Safe Mode pres F8 a number of times BEFORE the windows splash screen appears.
Start > Run > Type MSCONFIG > Startup tab > Uncheck this EXE.

Once this is done you can reboot into windows.
After you have done that it's time for some maintenance.

Here's my usual C&P for cases like this:

System maintenance includes:
Defrag
FULL patching
Virus scanning
Spyware scanning
removal of rubish files

Defrag is an inbuilt function in XP.
Open My Computer > Right click C: > Tools Tab and its there.

To make sure everything is running fine run both anti virus and anti spyware apps in normal AND safe modes. (make sure that they are updated first ! ;)) (AVG is good and free AV)
(A couple of good removal tools are Spybot and Adaware)

ALso an on line virus and spyware scanner is Trend Housecall

Just a note; actively running two AV's on one machine can cause problems.
So if you are thinking about it make sure your current one is disabled first.
Same thing applies to online scanners as well.

Removal of junk files is easy with CCleaner a free app that does exactly what

If all this fails then a repair install may be in order:

Here's the official Micro$oft way of doing it,
and Here's one with screen shots.

Basically this installs windows over the top of your current setup.
So you don't loose any information you already have.
