Re: RunDLL Error

Your best bet is to run through Malware Removal and Prevention: Introduction - CastleCopsWiki and start working your way through to see what you can do to get rid of the rest of your infection. This may be a deeper problem than it first looks like but the good news is that, since you had the presence of mind to create a new profile, all hope is not lost, seeing as it seems to work without any issues in the new profile.

If you have any questions about that link, feel free to ask....I am not a 'security' expert there, but I am a member of the Special Response Team over there as well, and if you were to decide to take further steps to get your machine cleaned, I would advise you to create a login there and then follow the steps to creating a HiJack This log for analysis.

It may look a bit daunting, at first, but it has a lot of good steps in both finding and removing Malware as well as setting you up with prevention techniques to help you safeguard yourself from future infestations.

Another site to read through as well would be the Calendar Of Updates -> CoU - a good set of security-specific tutorials designed with the new user in mind. I would recommend going through that *after* the first one as you really need to fix what is wrong first, and then learn about the prevention techniques after your computer is back in order.
