[image: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...p/Website.jpg]

This message keeps popping up and I'm not sure what to do. Is it a
virus? ToT
I do not have any security programs except for windows defender. =[

I'm not sure where this topic belongs!! Sorry if it doesn't belong
here! =[

Looks like it could be some kind of malware because that .dll file looks
like a random name. Find that file in system32 folder and rename the
extension to old, thyen reboot the PC, I bet when you reboot it will pop up
again under a different name. If it does then it is definately malware of
some kind. Try installing Superantispyware free to remove it. You can also
try Malwarebites and/or Spybot Search and Destroy. If Defender allowed it
through then it doesn't say much for Defender.

Random file names usually mean malware/virus's.
Since you say you "fly blind" it's London to a brick you are
infected. Get a decent AV program installed.

Security Programs for you to install.
And, how to use them.

http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Avast Anti-Virus is Vista compatible (32bit and 64bit Versions), FREE,
auto-updating, and a low resources user of your computer.
And, only have 1(one) Anti-Virus installed / running on your computer at any
one time..
Conflicts may occur if you have more than 1(one).

http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program.
Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it.
Then SCAN with it.
Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight.

http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

SpywareBlaster 4.1 is a non-intrusive, FREE Anti-Spyware Program that runs
in the background (no scanning by you!).
SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of many so-called spyware, adware
and malware programs by disabling the CLSIDs of popular spyware ActiveX
controls, and also prevents the installation of any of them via a webpage
Update it once a fortnight, and let it do its work in the background!

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover!
For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from
Download.com, or Major Geeks.com

Download, install, and update.

Important re: Safe Mode
If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot
the computer, and go into Safe Mode.
To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow
key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER.
RESCAN your computer with Avast(or your AV) and Spybot S & D while in Safe
Mode.
