Default unwanted rundll msg

Can anyone out there help me permanently get rid of the
following RUNDLL message box: "Error loading w3knet.dll.
The system cannot find the file specified"? I formatted
my hard drive last week, added a few programs afterwards,
then deleted a couple after that. Now everytime I shut
down my computer and sign on again later, I get this
message on my desktop. How to rid myself of this message
once and for all?

You can try this to remove the parasite w3knet.dll
Ad-Awa http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
(get updates immediately after installation)

You may be able to remove the startup entry.
Start-Run-Regedit
Navigate down to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
Remove the entry.

It's part of this parasite. Hope it can be removed by AdAware. If not follow
the removing instructions at the site.
