When my old W7 computer crashed, I was forced to get W10 and it came with this WkUFind.exe file which asks if I want to run it every single time I turn on my computer. I have researched and researched how to get rid of this with no success.

WkuFind is a very old executive, which was part of "Works"., and, I understand, Picture It. If you still have remnants of either, remove them. Since Works became obsolete, this file has been used to transfer Viruses to your computer, and is, of course, undesirable.
You can also look in the task Manager, under the start up Tab, and see if there is anything suspicious there, which you can disable.

Final solution is to run a program like Malwarbytes (Free), which will surely detect it.
