Run DLL Error message

09-08-2008

Hi when I boot up my vista home premium PC I receive this message

Run DLL
Error Loading C:\Windows\system32\awTmKdAr.dll
The specified module could not be found

There is an option to click on OK which I take and everything appears to run
normally.
Any ideas as to the why this is happening and/or a fix for the issue
gratefully received,
TIA

Hi Rick thanks for the assistance on this - have downloaded and sent the
HijackThis log to www.thespykiller.co.uk. Thanks again

just download autoruns and find that entry and uncheck it!

autoruns is now a microsoft tool, get it here

It was a virus indeed that caused that entry and your antivirus zapped it
but didn't remove the entry

Wouldn't going through startup in msconfig be better and less prone to
error?
