rundll error message at start up

[Guest Steven]

I am running Windows XP. I think I was hit by a malware. Although supposedly

removed, ever since when I boot up, I get two pop up boxes on the desktop

with the following messages:

 

RUNDLL

c:\windows\system32\dmnnjdfs.dll

The specified module could not be found.

 

AND

 

RUNDLL

c:\windows\system32\wudfbfoo.dll

The specified module could not be found.

 

I have tried to get rid of it with different freeware and commercial

software security products, to no avail. Any ideas as to how to stop these

pop-ups would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to try to help.

You say the malware was "supposedly removed". Be sure:

If the computer is really clean, remove the references to those malware

files from Startup:

 

Start>Run>msconfig [enter]

 

This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and

find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK

out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll

get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in

effect, "don't bother me about this again".

 

Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes.

Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter] and do not stop any services

unless you really, really know what you're doing.

The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup -
