RunDLL error

Removed a program, apparently not correctly, now when I start my computer each time I get this attached message.
How do I remove this message?

Win 8.1

Thanks, Tom

Try this:

[*]Download AutoRuns and save it to your Desktop.

[*]Create a new folder on your hard drive called AutoRuns (C:AutoRuns) and extract (unzip) the file there.

[*]Open the folder and double-click on autoruns.exe to launch it.

Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.

Please be patient as it scans and populates the entries.

When finished scanning, it will say Ready at the at the bottom and list all entries under the Everything tab.

[*]In the top menu, click File > Find… and type the file name (BackgroundContainer.dll) related to the error message, then click Find Next.

Alternatively, you can scroll through the list and look for any entry related to BackgroundContainer.dll and conduit.

If found, right-click on the entry and choose Delete.

[*]Exit Autoruns and reboot your computer when done.

Sounds like you picked up the Conduit Search malware. If you haven’t already done so, look for Conduit in Programs and Features and uninstall it.
Then run Malwarebytes – http://www.malwarebytes.org
Then remove any remaining traces of Conduit in your browser(s) by following the instructions here – http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-conduit-apps-search-and-toolbar/

I’ve seen a lot of Conduit infections lately
