What adverse effects are you experiencing with this error ?

I have heard of a Trojan by this name.

Any reasonable trojan hunters to have a try to find them?

The ESET Free Online Scanner does a pretty decent job which I would advise running in Safe Mode with Networking.

https://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

Check the two boxes for the PuPs and PuMs then click on Advanced and check those boxes - the Proxy one is optional.

There's also the Kaspersky Rescue Disk - http://support.kaspersky.co.uk/viruses/rescuedisk

While this is normally used when a virus prevents a computer from starting, it can also be used to boot up with outside of Windows to disinfect a system, but it can take a number of hours to run, depending upon how much you have installed on your computer.

You haven't said if you are experiencing any adverse effects with this.
