Well the problem started a few months back. I have searched for possible solutions but couldn't find any. So every time at startup an error pops up(for a picture if someone can tell me how to put one). Usually after a few pops of the problem and after i press the X button it stops appearing. I have not noticed any other problems(performance, corrupt files etc). After a little search I found out it was a script error and the programm causing it, probably, mhsta.exe. Any help?
As I mentioned if someone can help me put a picture then you can have a clear image of what's happening.

Edit: Nevermind I found a way to upload a photo. Sorry for being in greek.

Are you sure that you have mhsta.exe and not mshta.exe??? mshta.exe is genuine Windows process and a part of Windows operation system, see here http://www.file.net/process/mshta.exe.html. If you don't have a misspelling then most probably it is a malware. Otherwise you may try to get rid of it going to msconfig utility and uncheck it in Autostart tab. It is called when Windows starts.

Well i noticed that in the task manager that the number of mhsta.exe that are operating is the same as the error window shown in the picture. Additionall when i close these windows mhsta.exe stops showing in task manager.
