I just started getting a popup screen on my desktop right after power
on. Below is what I see __________________________________________________ ________________ RUNDLL Error loading C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\APPLIC~1\irr722.dss The specified module could not be found. __________________________________________________ _________________ I am assuming the it is looking for 'rundll' in a file /irr722.dss', but there is no file irr722.dss on my system. How can I find out more info on this problem. Everything else seems to be OK at this time. TIA for any suggestions. |

How can I find out more info on this problem. Everything else seems to be OK at this time. TIA for any suggestions. Click "Start", "Run", type "msconfig" into the "Open" box and click "OK". Then click on the "Startup" tab, press the plus key on the right side of the keyboard and the control key simultaneously and look for something like "rundll C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\APPLIC~1\irr722.dss". You may have to press the page down key several times to see all your startup programs. If you find it, uncheck it, click "OK", then restart the computer to confirm that the correct entry has been removed. Ben |

The file was removed from the system but the loading point which uses DUNDLL32 to load the DLL (in this case with a DSS extension) was not removed. Thus the error. You have to find the loading point that is used for RUNDLL32 C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\APPLIC~1\irr722.dss and remove that from the Registry. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

David, you are right on about Winlock Trojan, I ran Maleware and it found it and deleted it. I would like to find the loading point as you suggest, however being somewhat a novice and a coward about the registry, I would appreciate any further advice and direction, etc to get me down this path. TIA |

I didn't delete the line item, just unchecked it for now and watch for a few days. A side question on this program, I noticed several other line items that said 'no file' or something to that effect found. Would it be prudent to uncheck them also? |
