Windows 7, RunDLL Problem?

My Laptop is Windows 7 and when I turn it on I keep geting this pop up.

"There was a problem starting C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\atatubc.ddl

The specified module could not be found."

I can't remember what it's called, but I have this anti virus stuff that sometimes when you plug in a USB it opens and tells you that it might be a threat and asks you if you want to move it to the vault, classify as a power user and some other stuff like that. I looked at the threats and it told me that two DLL files where trojans. I tried removing them but it said that only one could be removed. The pop up is still coming up but the warning thing isn't anymore.

I googled it and I got someone saying that it's just a temporary file or a malware component. And then I found someone who said it was hijackware infection (I have no idea what that is but it sounds bad). These ones were a similar pop up except that the '\atatubc.ddl' part was different on both.

I hope that you can actually understand what I wrote and if you know anything that could help, that'll be really great!

The popup means that the infection is removed, but the reference to the file had not. You need to remove the reference from registry.

suggest you tap F8 on boot up go into safe mode with networking, download malware bytes>install upgrade definition>scan, suspect you have "system tools 2011" trojan, or something similar? Contact your Anti Virus provider and make them aware of this trojan as a few new strains are appearing. They may even remove it for you, but if you ask why their program didn't pick it up they can improve their product to protect in the future. Once scan complete is will need a restart an hope fuly you PC will boot up properly, keep malware scans up, plus anti virus scans

There can be two issues: 1. Virus (Use AVG free) 2.. Corrupt registry ( Use reginout) I am sure it will help you.
