Hello BeagleLeo3,

mentioned error is related with missing library (uninstalled, removed) based registry record "AppInit_Dlls". Name of file and behavior points to already removed infection.

To fix this situation please follow one of these options:

A) Using Microsoft Autoruns tool
1. Download the Autoruns utility.
2. Extract the downloaded utility to a folder of your choice (we recommend using the Desktop).
3. Run the autoruns.exe file
4. Choose tab AppInit
5. Clear the tick by beyofaji.dll line (or right-click on it and choose Delete)
6. Restart computer and check the situation again

B) Using registry editor
1. Open registry editor
2. Navigate to key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

3. Double-click record AppInit_Dlls
4. Edit the value and remove "beyofaji.dll", from it ([color=red]do NOT remove the whole record AppInit_Dlls or any other values[/color]; we strongly recommend backing up the AppInit_Dlls registry key before taking any changes if unsure)
5. Confirm the change
6. Restart computer and check the situation again

What is the current situation?

Thank you
