Error Messages in Startup and Shutdown
Parasite and Virus alert
SYSDLLWM.REG This file was almost certainly used by a website you visited to put its payload into the registry after which it probably deleted the file hence it being missing when you boot your PC. At a guess it is a hijacker of some sort. You can remove the message you are seeing by using MSConfig (Start, Run, enter MSConfig in the box and click OK), open the startup tab and uncheck any line that includes a reference to sysdllwm.reg. Now reboot. When did you last check your system for commercial parasites and other malware? May I strongly recommend that you check your system for unwanted commercial malware, parasites and the like using the free AdAware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/). Other useful tools include BHOCaptor (http://www.xcaptor.org) 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. However your problem could be due a variant of the odious CoolWebSearch hijacker and the best way of removing this is to use merijn's CWShredder which can be downloaded from either: http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip For more details of the CoolWebSearch hijacker see http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html. WINLOGIN.EXE This is almost certainly a virus or more likely a trojan such as W32.Randex.E http://securityresponse.symantec.com....randex.e.html When did you last check your system for such nasties with your preferred anti-virus application equipped with a current updated set of viral reference signatures? -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP wrote: Hey guys!
