Default system problem

Win Me contains no file image.dll.

Image.dll is, or rather was, part of a commercial parasite and I can only
assume that when cleaning your PC using AdAware, SpyBot or some other cleaner
it left an entry in the registry that is attempting to launch this malware
whenever you boot your PC.

Have a look at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...e.iefeats.html
which describes what Symantec refer to as Adware.Iefeats which uses a
image.dll file. This is a variant of the odious CoolWebSearch and possibly
the easiest way of removing this offensive parasite is to use merijn's
CWShredder.

CWShredder can be downloaded from either:
http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip
or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip
