If you have a virus or spyware which is triggered on logon by a registry key (ie a computer setting)

...and

that file has been removed by an antivirus program or similar

...then... you might see something like this. IMHO.

If you believe this theory, I found a program called "Autoruns Utility" which is useful. "HijackThis" is also interesting.

In my case with a similar problem - I was able to remove the offending entry by running in safe mode, or perhaps it was from another login account, I can't remember the exact details.
