Guest richene416 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Everytime I try to open a new webpage I get a dialog box asking me if I want to allow or not allow rundll32 to run. Is this normal (I never had this problem a few weeks ago and have not downloaded anything)? If not normal, how do I fix it? Quote
Guest Smithsonian Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I have never heard of that. It sounds like a virus to me. rundll32 is used to run .dll files I would say no and check your computer for viruses.

Guest richene416 Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Thanks for your reply. I have run Northan Antivirus (newest version) and it does not find anything. I also downloaded RegCure and once in awhile it will find a tracking cookie and I will have it fix it. Spybot always finds something, but I am able to fix those problems. Any other suggestions?

Guest richene416 Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 I did as you said and I still get the message. I'm sure it's a virus or malware, but not sure how to get rid of it since Spybot & Norton either one pick it up. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Guest SG Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 1.. Open Internet Explorer 7. 2.. From the Internet Explorer 7 command bar, choose Tools and then Internet Options. 3.. In the Internet Options window, click on the Security tab. 4.. Below the Security level for this zone area, and directly above the OK, Cancel, and Apply buttons, click the Reset all zones to default level button. 5.. Click OK on the Internet Options window. 6.. Close and then reopen Internet Explorer 7. 7.. Try again to visit the web sites that were causing your problems to see if resetting the Internet Explorer 7 security settings on your computer helped. -- All the best, SG Is your computer system ready for Vista? https://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/ Want to keep up with the latest news from MS? http://news.google.com/nwshp?tab=wn&ned=us&topic=t Just type in Microsoft "richene416" <richene416@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:440C50B5-7534-4318-806B-33A581757B19@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> >I did as you said and I still get the message.

Guest richene416 Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 Still getting the pop-up window. Seems like this started when I subscribed & downloaded LimeWire. I tried to download a couple of things, and I think that's when all this started. Should I uninstall Limewire and anything that I have downloaded from that site?

Guest SG Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 First of all you are not being a pest and I hope we can find and fix your problem. I'm really not sure what LimeWire would have to do with your problem and the two options I gave you usually fixes it. If it were I and given what you have already tried I think I'd try a System Restore just before you installed LimeWire. It's appears something has intergraded into your IE settings and you may not be able to find it. Before you try System Restore you can try two more Spyware removal programs and see it one will pick it up. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware 2007 Free http://www.superantispyware.com/superantis...efreevspro.html SUPERAntiSpyware Free Both of these are excellent programs and I'd recommend keeping them both along with SpyBot S&D. -- All the best, SG Is your computer system ready for Vista? https://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/ Want to keep up with the latest news from MS? http://news.google.com/nwshp?tab=wn&ned=us&topic=t Just type in Microsoft "richene416" <richene416@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D6C90090-492F-4121-AC3B-E9E8BF5B47E6@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> > Still getting the pop-up window.

Guest richene416 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Good morning, Was wondering if you could help me with something else. Since I've fixed all the viruses, malware, etc., I'm getting this message when I start up: Error loading: C:\Windows\System32\cpmsky.dll The specified module could not be found Any idea what this is? Should I be worried? Thanks again, Donna "SG" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > Good deal and you are most welcome.

Guest SG Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Hi Donna, Just for the purpose of looking, we will delete the line later if there. Do the following.... Click Start, in the "Start Search" at the bottom type: Regedit You will see it appear at the top, double click it and UAC will prompt you for permission, select Continue. Now, look for the following branch. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, just to the left of that name you need to click the little triangle to expand the branch. Now look for SOFTWARE then Microsoft then WINDOWS then CurrentVersion. Under CurrentVersion you now need to look down that key for the RUN Key. Click on the RUN key to highlight it then in the right hand pane see if you have the follow String Value. [PostSetupCheck] C:\WINDOWS\System32\Rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cpmsky.dll" DllStart If it's there or not close Registry Editor and post back what you saw. -- All the best, SG Is your computer system ready for Vista? https://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/ Want to keep up with the latest news from MS? http://news.google.com/nwshp?tab=wn&ned=us&topic=t Just type in Microsoft "richene416" <richene416@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8573B313-C17F-4AD9-86AD-EDB9012D79B0@microsoft.com...<span style="color:blue"> > Good morning, > > Was wondering if you could help me with something else.
