How to resolve BackgroundContainer.dll error on startup?
I didn't find any entries relating to this in the registry, but I did find it in Task Scheduler.
- Open Control Panel
- Open Administrative Tools
- Open Task Scheduler
- Click on
Task Scheduler Library
- Scroll through the list until you find
BackgroundContainer
- Right click on the entry
- Click on
Delete
on the menu that pops up. - Close all windows, reboot computer
The result is no more error on start up.
This was a malware. It was removed by your AntiVirus Scanner, but the registry entries are still present to start the malware at startup.
Start regedit.exe
and search (F3 or CTRL+F) for BackgroundContainer.dll
and delete all entries you find.
- Press Windows Key + R
- In run dialog, type
regedit
and press Enter - Go to
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- Delete
BackgroundContainer.dll
- Reboot PC
