Problem at start up

Jul 2, 2017 7:15AM PDT

Hi all, every time I start my packard bell Laptop i get a black box pop up which says (taskeng.exe) There's nothing in the box! Then another box pops up over the top with the title
C:\Programe Files (x86)\search extensions\Clients.exe
Inside the box it says;
Windows can't find C:\Programe Files (x86)\search extensions\Clients.exe Verify you've entered the correct name and try again
It's been like it for weeks. I just close it and carry on! it doesn't seem to affect anything but it's really annoying! Any help to solve it would be appreciated. Sorry I haven't posted a picture of it but don't know how to! Yeah i'm and idiot but and idiot that needs help
Thanks in advance, Max

You should give some thought to how you got this stuff.

If you keep doing the same thing you'll just load it up again with junk.
