Error Message when booting up.

I receive the error message "Error loading
C;/Program~1/mywebs~1/bar/3.bin/mp3plugin Dll This specified module could not
be found" Once I click ok it boots up, then I randomly receive the message
"Windows Installer-Preparing to install. I am probably the cause of this as
I was sick of instant messenger automatically loading and attempted to delete
it. Any help you can provide a super novice, I know the pain it will cause
some, will be greatly appreicated and I am worthy. Thanks in advance.

Run HijackThis for the first one.

mp3plugin Dll

Disable it using Autoruns.

A safer way than msconfig to disable / remove unwanted start up items is
to use Autoruns.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys.../Autoruns.mspx

With Autoruns you can uncheck an item, which disables it from starting,
or you can can right click an item and then delete it. If you uncheck
you can recheck to re-enable the item. It is a much safer approach than
editing the Registry. Another useful feature of the programme is that
you can right click an item and select Search Online to get information
about the item selected.
