Hello,
My windows XP professional, had an adware and I removed it. But now I
am
getting an error at boot up that rmkbpaba.dll can not be found by
rundll.exe.
What is this file and how can I remove this error?
A quick Google for rmkbpaba.dll only brings up links to your post so this
is
a strong indication the file was part of malware. Since you didn't say how
or with what you removed the malware, I can't tell whether your computer
is
truly clean. Please review the removal methods at this link to see if you
were that thorough:

If you were not, then you should run through at least some of the steps,
not
skipping the prep work. If you were that thorough, manage your Startup
matrix with the System Configuration Utility and/or the free Autoruns.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx - Autoruns
System Configuration Utility - Start>Run>msconfig [enter]
This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab
and
find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK
out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do
you'll
get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says
in
effect, "don't bother me about this again".
Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes.
Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter] and do not stop any services
unless you really, really know what you're doing.
