| Dear All,
| When booting my laptop (T-60 Win XP SP3) after having some malware woe, I
| would get an error message stating that "rundll32hspyrmqb.exe" cannot be
| loaded and that the specified module cannot be found. If I hit OK, the
| message box closes and I'm able to use my laptop.
| Using the System Configuration Utility, I uncheck the box in the start-up
| tab with the word: rundll32hspyrmqb next to it. Now when I boot up my
| machine, I don’t get the error message.
| I googled the file name, but didn’t get any hits. I also submitted it to
| Norton with no results. Additionally, I did a search on all the rundll and
| all the exe files in my system and it did not show in the search results.
| Would it be correct to think that the adware attached itself to or created a
| dll file to run, but I deleted the actual malware and when the pc started to
| boot, it tried to run the link, but there is no process attached to it?
| Perhaps the file named in the System Config. Utility is only a name or
| partially removed virus.
| Can I get rid of this?
| Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
| Thanks-
