00026668.exe and engsengine.dll

[Doug McKean]

Have recently been getting an error message at startup that 00026668.exe
cannot start because windows cannot find engsengine.dll.

Does anyone know what this is all about and what I can do to rectify. Have
tried system restore however even though there are many restore points
(times) none of them seem to work as it cannot detect a change to windows.

Culprit of my problems may be that I installed IMesh (file sharing program)
and then had some associated problems, so I installed AdAware and
quarantined a large number of items. This is when the error message started.
Tried reversing the quarantine process but this has not helped.

Any help is appreciated.

Click Start/Run/MSCONFIG/Startup tab. Uncheck the item.
Delete the file 00026668.exe manually.

Update Ad-Aware and re-scan again:

1. Start Ad-Aware.
2. Click [Check for Updates] [Connect] and download the latest pattern file if available. and click Finish
3. Click [Start] [Next] (System will now detect the spyware)
4. After the scan is finished, click [Next]
5. Select all the items (checkboxes)
Right click on any object in the "Scan result" list and choose [Select all objects]
6. Click Next and click OK to confirm spyware removal.
