Viruses and missing DLL'S

After having some viruses on my computer: Trj/Downloader.L
that Panda software disinfected and Eicar.Mod that Panda
Renamed I am left with The Univ.AP virus that the software
only reported and does not appear to be able to do
anything with. How can I delete it?
Also since being infected I am getting the following
message: "Rundll Error loading.
C\Windows\System\MSA64CHK.DLL The system cannot find the
file spec." How can I get this file back?
I am using Windows ME which is installed over Windows 98
and Windows 98SE.
Since having these problems my computer has begun to run
slowly.
I am an OAP so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Please reply to my own E-mail address which is:

Many thanks.

Peter,

You don't want MSA64CHK.DLL back as it is a rogue dialler and isn't part of
the operating system. Are you sure that there isn't an entry left in MSConfig
Startup that is trying to load this file? If so, uncheck/remove it.

For more details of MSA64CHK.DLL which is also known as Mostrar Dialler see

(currently unavailable :-( ).

This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0
from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot
Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your
system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good
as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called
BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for
unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then there is CWShredder
(http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way
of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of
which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp..

Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of
HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a
folder called hijackthis on C: and copy the file you downloaded to that
folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of
Internet Explorer and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log, provided
that it isn't too long, to this thread, otherwise to the HijackThis Forum at
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or alternatively
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30 and hopefully this will enable
someone to identify the cause of your problem.
