    Reformed mystery meat.

    You know what to do. :)
  • A Cannot find, Cannot start, Cannot load, Could not run/Cannot run or “specific module could not be found” message is usually related to malware or (PUP)Potentially Unwanted Programmes that were set to run at startup, but the referenced files have been deleted after a malware scan leaving behind a registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist, in your case by Malwarebytes.

    Use CC Cleaner to clean up the Registry.
