How can this be fixed?

Please help.Got this message on my laptop whilst trying to connect to a web site

C:\users\pauline\AppData\Local\Pokki\Engine\Launcher.dill

Too technical for me to understand but this problem occurred
after I re installed Google Chrome?

Thanks for reading.

    Uninstall Pokki. As you've got that one it's probably worth downloading and running MalwareBytes Free and removing any other junk you have accidentally installed.

    Only download software from the original author sites - often not the first result on google which will be a paid ad and probably be an installer of junk alongside what you actually wanted. Or maybe just the junk.

    There isn't a programme with that name listed.?

    could it be under another named programme?
    I have avira and have done malwarebytes.

    Thanks for your input everyone.

    Apparently this is associated with Gmail?

    I went for Ccleaner and got it cleaned, never had any more problems with it.:j
