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.
