DLL Error
Upon startup I keep getting the error: __________________________________________________ ____ Error loading C:\Users\Avanator\AppData\Local\Temp\ddcCTIIK.dll The specified module could not be found. __________________________________________________ ____ I've cleaned my registry with RegCure and still get the error. I also tried searching some DLL download databases and there's no "ddcCTIIK" dll to be found. Any advice on what I can do to solve this error? Thanks in advance. -- Avanator |

A Google for it only turns up your post, which is a strong indication that the file is malware. If you recently cleaned up your machine, then your cleaning tools (your antivirus perhaps?) left a reference to the file in Startup. If you haven't recently done any virus/malware scanning, it would be a good idea. Once you are sure the machine is clean, manage your Startup as suggested below. BTW, RegCure is a good way to hose your system entirely. See this thread for why: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 - registry cleaner thread Be sure the computer is clean: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware Manage the Startup: Start OrbStart Search boxmsconfig [enter] If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Usually in Vista this will be blocked by Windows Defender and you'll need to allow it so you can then tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again". Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes. Instead, use StartRunservices.msc [enter] and do not stop any services unless you really, really know what you're doing. The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...s/default.mspx - Autoruns Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
