How about something like this?

        Dim str1 As String = "Thu 07/09/2015 11:35:45.83 - Missing file: ""x:\TAD Image\Alldocs\utility\H155559ZK.TXT"
        Dim pos1 As Integer = str1.LastIndexOf("\") + 1
        Dim str2 As String = str1.Remove(0, pos1)

Probably something like this: 
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices

Module Module1
	Sub Main()
		Dim errorMessage = "Thu 07/09/2015 11:35:45.83 - Missing file: ""x:\TAD Image\Alldocs\utility\H155559ZK.TXT"""
		Console.WriteLine(errorMessage.GetErrorMessageFileName("Missing file:"))
		Console.ReadLine()
	End Sub
End Module

Module Extensions
	<Extension()> _
	Public Function GetErrorMessageFileName(ByVal source As String, ByVal filter As String) As String
		Dim file As FileInfo
		Dim result As String = String.Empty
		Dim index = source.IndexOf(filter, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) + filter.Length
		If index <> -1 Then
			Try
				file = New FileInfo(source.Substring(index, source.Length - index).Trim().Trim(""""))
				If file IsNot Nothing Then
					result = file.Name
				End If
			Catch ex As Exception
				result = String.Empty
			End Try
		End If
		Return result
	End Function
End Module

You could also do it like this.

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim strMessage = "Thu 07/09/2015 11:35:45.83 - Missing file: ""x:\TAD Image\Alldocs\utility\H155559ZK.TXT"""
        Dim vPos1 As Integer = strMessage.LastIndexOf("\")
        If vPos1 > 0 Then
            Dim str2 As String = Replace(Mid(strMessage, vPos1 + 2), Chr(34), "")
            Console.WriteLine(str2)
        Else
            Console.WriteLine("ERROR Could not find \ character in: " & strMessage)
        End If
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub
End Module
