So I originally had just hit continue and ignored it not thinking about it. But then when i went to shut down a screen came up saying groupmanager.exe is preventing windows from shutting down. I did not know what this .exe file was but if I hit quit on that original msg this does not happen so I figured the two were linked. I have been unsuccessful in finding anything out. I looked at numerous posts by others on many forums and no one seems to have this same problem. I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.

It seems Groupmanager.exe is a malware that keeps changing the registry and also prevents the computer to shut down. a good advice: Delete it!

Four files and two keys were infected but MALWAREBYTES cleared them all. Previously this bug had to be forced to close or I used Process explorer to close it.
