After getting a virus, which I believe I have gotten cleaned up(but not 100%
sure), I am getting an error message on reboot. Error loading
C:\Windows\system32\tuvSkHbB.dll, module could not be found. Click ok and
all seems to operate fine. Can I just replace this file and if so where do I
get it, or do I have a larger problem? Thanks, Kevin
The error message clearly states that the file doesn't exist, so
replacing it... well, how you gonna replace something that doesn't
exist?
Googling that file gets nothing. It no doubt was something the virus
installed and your cleanup got rid of it, but not the registry entry
pointing to it.
If you are comfortable going into the registry...
Create a restore point.
Click the Start orb
Click Run
type in regedit
OK
Edit
Find
type the name of the file into the dialog box (be accurate)
Delete the entry it finds
Tap F3 to continue the search
repeat as necessary until done.
It's doubtful that anything will go wrong, but you created a restore
point so you can go back if you have to.
The problem is that the antivirus program removed the malware, but not the
load reference. Open msconfig, the Startup tab, and look for the
"tuvSkHbB.dll" reference. Note where it appears, then go there and delete
that reference. Or, simply disable that line.
