Need help with error messages at start-up.

[Logan's Lady]

Hey, not sure who can help me, but everytime I turn on my computer I get error messages.
After Windows XP starts up and right after I choose the user I want to use, I get the following 3 pop-up errors.

Error Loading
c:/windows/system32/rovudoku.dll
specific module could not be found

Error Loading
C:/WINDOWS/system32/kudavori.dll
specific module could not be found

Error Loading
C:/WINDOWS/system32/toyoyavi.dll
specific module could not be found


If anyone knows how I can stop these from coming up on start up everytime I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Each one of those goggled comes up with Malware protection links/advice, so maybe it would be best to use spybot and a virus scanner like AVG on your system because its looking like its infected

Click on the start menu, then click "Run..." and type in "msconfig" and hit OK. When the dialog box comes up, click the "Startup" tab. You should see a list with check boxes. On the left is the name of the object and on the right is the file it is associated with. Find anything that is associated with those three files you just listed and un-check them. If they aren't there then try checking under the "Autoexec.bat" tab. You should find them under one of those two tabs. In any case, un-checking them should prevent your computer from trying to find them at startup. (I'm doing all of this on Windows 98 so the interface may be slightly different for XP but these instructions should still be sufficient.)

The fact that you get a "specific module could not be found" error means that the computer is trying to load those files but it can't find them. That means that either the files are no longer on your computer, or they aren't in the place your computer thinks they should be. Those do appear to be malicious files, so even though it appears that they aren't on your computer anymore it would still be wise to run a virus scan on your computer. If you don't have an anti-virus program you should check out this thread:

There should be some links to good anti-virus programs as well as some other good tips for PC security there.

Good luck!

Thanks Bgates... it looks as though this helped. I do have spyware and virus protection that I run all the time.

You've got Vundo.Trojan.
You need to follow the necessary steps with ComboFix or Vundofix to properly remove all that jazz.
