Neither Win Me nor Internet Explorer use a file named ytboahwb.dll now can
I find any reference to a file with this name on the net which suggests very strongly to me that this file is malicious, possibly part of a commercial parasite, and undoubtedly the cause of your various problems. When did you last check your system for malware using your preferred antivirus application using an updated current set of viral reference signatures? If not recently then you might first want to check your PC using one of the online virus checks such as McAfee's online checker (http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp) or Trend Micro's Housecall (http://housecall.antivirus.com) and then update your AV's reference signature files. If you haven't yet managed to install an antivirus application then download and use Stinger (http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/) and perhaps also F-Prot which will allow you to scan your system from DOS (http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/dos/). This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware SE Personal edition from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot Search & Destroy 1.3 (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.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 HJT on C: (not on your desktop nor in your temp folder) and copy the file you downloaded to that folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of Internet Explorer. Enable Explorer to see all files and folders (Tools | Folder Options | View and check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files") 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.
