What is mivvx.dll?
I've never had this.
Look: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/175/...349564b3a_o.png This one happened to me only two or three days after I re-installed (clean install) my XP Pro system. Right after I login to my account, before my desktop icons loom up, an error popup window says, Can't access mivvx.dll, access denied. Or something like that. I click the OK button on this popup and then windows proceed to load my desktop just fine. I browsed to C:\Windows\System32 and found this perpetrator as shown in the PNG image above. My AVG says it is a thread, but was not able to heal it. Google turns out no hit. Is this something new? Please advise and let me know how I can get rid of this bad guy. Thanks. |

Just becuase Google doesn't turn up anything mean much except the chances of it being legititimate is low. Please submit a sample of "mivvx.dll" to Virus Total -- http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html The submission will then be tested against many different AV vendor's scanners. That will give you an idea what it is and who recognizes it. In addition, unless told otherwise, Virus Total will provide the sample to all participating vendors. You can also submit a suspect, one at a time, via the following email URL... mailto:scan@virustotal.com?subject=SCAN When you get the report, please post back the exact results. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm |

I've sent mivvx.dll to scan@virustotal.com as an attachment. Submitting from virustotal web was not successful. Not sure how long it's gonna take for me to get the result. |

But then, there is no easy way to submit it. Gmail does not allow sending executables, and submitting from virustotal web also returns "size 0". Maybe I'll try using Yahoo! Mail and see what happens. Will get back to you later. Thanks. |

I tried booting to safe mode and attempted to delete mivvx.dll. It was not successful. Windows says that I cannot delete it because some other program is using it. |
