window can't find 5.exe

[jimmy2u10]

several times a day a window pops up saying.......Windows Cannot find C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\5.exe Something must have been deleted and I cannot figure out what. Does anybody have any ideas on this? How can I stop that message window from popping up?

I googled "what is 5.exe?" and "5.exe," and got back several hits; not good news according to several hits.
Just one of several hits not offering good news:

However, before doing anything major, get the opinions of a few regulars here.

5.exe

5.exe may be malware but I don't have that file on my computer. That is why Windows can't find it. I'm just wondering what program is trying to access it. I've run thorough scans with AntiVirus, Super AntiSpyware, and Malwarebytes Antimalware and they don't come up with anything.
