RUNDLL Error loading C:\Windows...

Hello,
Upon start up of my computer I immediately get 2 Error messages saying the
following: RUNDLL Error Loading C:\WINDOWS\cbuhuv.dat The specified module
could not be found.

This message keeps popping up every couple minutes while the computer stays
on. Could someone please help!

Thank you,
Christy

A Google search for "cbuhuv.dat" brought up nothing useful. When you don't
get any hits for a file name on Google, chances are high that it is a
malware file. Either you uninstalled the malware program or your
antivirus/antispyware program did. In any case, a reference was left to the
file in Startup. You can remove the reference by managing your Startup.

Because you had one piece of malware, the chances are also high that you had
others. It would be a good idea to scan. I recommend downloading and
installing MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) from
http://www.malwarebytes.org. The program is free. (There is a paid version
but you don't need to buy it to remove malware.)

Don't mess about with your Startup until you are sure the computer is 100%
virus/malware-free. Refer to this link if you need more than just
installing and scanning with MBAM:

Manage Startup:

StartRunmsconfig [enter]

This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and
find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK
out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll
get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in
effect, "don't bother me about this again".

The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup -

Looks like your virus checker deleted some malware that is still trying
to load


first thing to check is if it's listed in startup
when you run msconfig

if so, uncheck it


otherwise it will require manual deletion in the registry
