I recently tried to remove some spyware from my computer and now I get the following message (twice) every time I boot.

RUNDLL
Error loading C:\WINDOWS\sdkzh.dll
The specified module could not be found.

Running Windows XP

Thanks for the help.
Jake

As this is spyware related, I'm moving it to our Security forum.

That error is probably caused by an "orphaned" run entry in your registry; the entry just being a "loose end" left over from the spyware removal. HijackThis can probably remove the entry for you if you aren't comfortable editing your Registry by hand.

Run HJT and look for an entry similar to the following:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RunDLL] rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\System32\sdkzh.dll

If it exists, put a check in the box at the beginning of the entry and have HJT fix it. DO NOT HAVE HJT FIX ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS POINT!!

I ran HJT and deleted the file you suggested, however I was still getting the error message. (now only once). I ran HJT again, found a similar file then deleted it, however I'm still getting the error. Ran HJT for a third time and cant find anything similar to what you suggested. Any other suggestions..I appreciate the help.

Yup. A lot of these nasties can morph and/or reinstall themselves if you don't catch every little piece of them. Let's have that HJT log and we'll see if we can spot the culprit.

Also, did you run Ad Aware, SpyBot, CWShredder, etc. before doing your HJT scan? If not, do so before posting the fresh log.

Sorry- I also forgot to mention that HJT only removes the Registry's reference to the files in the " O4 - HKLM\..\Run" entries; you should find and delete the actual files after fixing them with HJT.

Among other things, you seem to have a variant of the CoolWebSearch parasite. You should download and run CWShredder; see the following for more info:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforum...searchid=74106

Also, have HJT fix these:

There may be more to do to, but take care of the above before posting a new HJT log.
