    Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\xfvwmuke.dll on startup
    « on: April 19, 2008, 06:33:20 PM »
    When I start my computer I get a message saying:

    "Error Loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\xfvwmuke.dll Specified module could not be found." 

    It started after running some anti-spyware programs to get rid of a virus.  When the message pops up I just hit OK and everything seems to be working fine, but I keep getting the message whenever I restart.  A search on the internet for xfvwmuke.dll doesn't find anything.  I'm running windows XP, can anybody help me with this?  Thanks.

      it sounds like a virus that your anti virus didn't catch what anti-virus do you have?

          *** Disable TeaTimer, as it'll interfere with the cleaning process:
          Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon.
          Click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.
          TeaTimer closes.

          1. Print this post out, since you won't have an access to it, at some point.

          2. Close all windows, except for HijackThis.

          3. Put a checkmark next to the following HijackThis entries (some entries will be checkmarked to disable unnecessary startups; in those cases (marked with *), no actual program will be removed):

          4. Click on Fix checked button.

          5. Restart your computer in Safe Mode (keep tapping F8 key, when your computer starts, until meny appears)

          6. Open Windows Explorer. Go Tools>Folder Options>View tab, put a checkmark next to Show hidden files, and folders.

          7. Delete following files/folders (if present):

          - xfvwmuke.dll file from C:\WINDOWS\system32

          8. Restart in Normal Mode.

          9. Post new HijackThis log.

            Ok, here is the log.  And FYI, there was no file to delete in Step 7 above and when restarting, the error message did not pop up this time.

            Good job :)

            HJT log is clean.

            1. Download, and install CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds. Get "Slim" version.
            Read CCleaner instruction here: http://www.jahewi.nl/ccleaner/ccleaner.html.
            Run CCleaner.

            2. Turn off System Restore:

            - Windows XP:
               1. Click Start.
               2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
               3. Click the System Restore tab.
               4. Check "Turn off System Restore".
               5. Click Apply.   
               6.  When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
               7. Click OK.
            - Windows Vista:
               1. Click Start.
               2. Right-click the Computer icon, and then click Properties.
               3. Click on System Protection under the Tasks column on the left side
               4. Click on Continue on the "User Account Control" window that pops up
               5. Under the System Protection tab, find Available Disks
               6. Uncheck the box for any drive you wish to disable system restore on (in most cases, drive "C:")
               7. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click "Turn System Restore Off" on the popup window to do this.
               8. Click OK

            3. Restart computer.

            4. Turn System Restore on.

            5. Download, and install free ThreatFire: http://www.threatfire.com/, which will give you real-time protection against malwares.
            It won't interfere with your antivirus, nor firewall.

            6. Let me know, how your computer is doing.
