Re: missling dll32.exe, deleted by me, trying to get rid of a virus!

Hi Mods,

I'm in the process of cleaning an infection (Worm.Koobface and Trojan.Mediapass are reported) and have a similar problem. A "misssing DLL32" pop-up appears at booting, although the only obvious problem is that IE7 has ceased working. As a temporary fix I've installed Firefox which seems to be working alright.

However, sfc /scannow runs in a small window with progress bar for about 15 mins and then just vanishes at the end. I do have an XP SP1 install CD but am now running SP3. Does this matter as the PC doesn't seem to access or ask for the disc anyway?

After a reboot I still get the missing DLL report which I'd like to fix (even if I decide to stay with Firefox :-) Any ideas?

Thanks, Alan.
