Hi, and once again, thanks for reading.

I've been working on an old eMachine that belongs to a friend at work, he got it FULL of so many malicious files, it was amazing. Not gonna tell you what he was looking at. :p 11 different versions of CoolWebSearch. :eek:

Anyway... I'm 99.999999% done. The only thing I can't fix, is after every boot, or restart, there is this strange pop-up.

RUNDLL

Error Loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\dusknifh.dll

The specified module could not be found.

I'm pretty sure that was one of the malicious files. Can't find any reference to it on any other machine, or on Google, and my Google-Fu is pretty strong. :D

How do I get rid of this strange window? You want me to post a HiJack list? Maybe I missed something?

Thanks for the replies. Mark.

Edit --

Went into msconfig one last time, and found a line for C:\WINDOWS\system32\dusknifh.dll. Unchecked it, and everything seems to be fine now... I guess only time will tell. ;)

I'd suggest running CCleaner and allow it to clean up your registry too. It sounds like you solved this issue yourself though.
