Spyware

[Guest CB900F]

Dear: All...

 

Windows Defender got rid of a spyware that I picked up some how!?? style_emoticons/, but

now, I am still having the following issue with my system... At start up

after I log in.. The following error message appears

 

Title of the windows is "Run DLL"

Error message : the specified module can not be found

"C:windows/system32/KhfDuTkc.dll"

 

I ran windows defender, and it did not pickup anything.. I also have

Kaspersky and it also did not find anything..

 

But this is one of the two files that windows defender original found as

spyware..

 

Where can I look and fix as to what is trying to load this DLL?

That file belongs to the malware. If you are really sure your computer is

clean (and I wouldn't rely only on Defender, see the link below), you can

remove the reference to it in Startup.

 

Be sure the computer is clean first:

Uncheck the box next to the KhfDuTkc.dll in Startup:

 

Start Orb>Search box>type: msconfig and when it appears in the Results box

above, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator".

 

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation,

type the password, or click Continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab.

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

a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Usually in Vista this will be

blocked by Windows Defender and you'll need to allow it so you can then

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 Services.

 

Start Orb>Search box>type: services and when it appears in the Results box

above, right-click and choose "Run As Administrator". Confirm elevation as

needed.

 

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