Hi,
Does it give a path as to where that's loading from? The only legit file
would be under C:\Windows\system32, any other would indicate malware.
You'll likely need to work from the recovery environment, so being able to
boot from disk is essential. Instead of rearranging the boot order, instead
try removing all other bootable devices. This will force the bios to load
the only choice it has (that being the optical drive).
Once into the command line environment, you can run a disk check (chkdsk)
and sfc /scannow to detect and repair damaged system files.
