Lindliloo,
This is the newsgroup for XP problems so I don't see why the other user pointed
you to that other forum
-----------------------------
If you look in one of a few places (listed below) you may find where its
starting up from:
You can download this free too it will help you:
Page:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/autoruns.mspx
Direct Download:
http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/Autoruns.zip
If you look of the LOGON tab under the two RUN keys you may see a link to this
file listed
Then click the WINLOGON tab to see if its listed there too
If so, you can UNTICK (UNCHECK) it, restart & see if the error has disappeared.
if so, the entry you unticked (unchecked) can be deleted
One other place that you can look is START | ALL PROGRAMS | STARTUP & see if its
listed there too. To delete anything from there is simple just right-click the
START button | EXPLORE | Navigate to the STARTUP folder & delete it
If you find the said DLL file, Quarantine it using Norton & submit to them
choosing don't strip out contents... There is another way to submit to Symantec
& its the way I always use & its to zip the file, rename the zip to
'Submission', add a encrypted password to that file (password = infected) then
e-mail the zip file to:
AVSubmit@symantec.com
After a few mins, you will receive an e-mail back from Symantec saying your
tracking number is in the subject line of the e-mail. Later you will get a
message back saying it has been analysed by the automated process & if they
found anything a link to the virus/trojan/adware/malware/spyware on the Symantec
site which will give you either a removal tool or a way to delete it manually
with all the entries shown. Within 24-48 hours there will be virus definitions
out to protect you against this threat for the file you submitted to them
