"MMLOCUSR.DLL" Error..
I have had a hard time with my computer as of late. After
using the computer for a while, and you try to click on the taskbar to go to something, it'll dissappear, and then Windows will no longer function correctly. Then I have to re-start the computer, and everything will be pretty much okay until the taskbar dissappears again. Today, when I opened my Internet Explorer, I was bombarded with pop-up ads, and then my computer froze again, so I had to re-start it. When I did, I received this error message: "Explorer has caused an error in MMLOCUSR.DLL. Explorer will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer." So I clicked the close button, and everything dissappeared except for my desktop, and nothing worked. So I re- started it again, and I got the same message. I have done this several times now, and I keep getting the same error message. What should I do? It seems like my computer won't function like it's supposed to anymore. Thank you so much! |

"MMLOCUSR.DLL" Error..
Win Me contains no file named MMLOCUSR.DLL nor can I find any references to a
file with such a name on the net which leads me to believe that it is malicious and that your PC is infected with malware of some sort, possibly a trojan or virus but more likely a commercial parasite. When did you last check your system for malware using your preferred antivirus application making sure first that you are using an updated current set of viral reference signatures? 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 to either 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.
