error sprt_ads.dll

When I start vista I get a msg
Error loading c:\windows\system32\sprt_ads.dll
"Specified module could not be found"
Should I try re-installing vista or is there another solution?

Hi,

Reloading Vista won't help, but removing or blocking the startup entry
trying to load that malware will. Run msconfig from the start/search line
and check the startup tab for an entry that loads that library file and
uncheck it.

Hi I have the same problem with sprt_ads but instead of a pop-up, it redirects me to a random site at any time, without warning. Say im on youtube and i search for a video. I type a video name into the search bar and click search. Right after that i am redirected to a random site, like celldorado.com or titanpoker.com. very irritating. It even happened 3 times while i was typing this up. It also happens when im either in the middle of doing something (eg. Watching a video on youtube) or when i start an internet webpage. ALSO, when i don’t have anything involving the net going it opens a webpage automatically and goes to a random annoying site. Please help me
