Dfykssua.dll ist most likely missing because it was part of the virus
itself! You now need to use a process of trial and error to find out which
program is trying to invoke it. Run msconfig.exe via the Start/Run box, then
untick items under the Startup tab one by one until you find the culprit.
It's best to physically disconnect your PC from the Internet until you have
restored all ticks (except for the culprit).

You don't want to get it back. It's not part of Windows and is almost
certainly a random name generated by the virus you just removed.

Your issue is a prime example of why good registry cleaners are needed.
Don't listen to the others who say registry cleaners are "snake oil". To fix
your issue automatically, download CCleaner from here
http://www.ccleaner.com/ install it and when you run it select the registry
icon on the left to clean your registry. Let it fix all but choose to backup
when prompted. Your problem should then be fixed.

The "Real Truth MVP" is a well-known prankster and troll. Follow his advice
at your own peril.

Note that liars often engage in multiple tautologies. The former German
"Democratic People's Rebublic" was a fine example. It wasn't democratic, it
wasn't run by the people and it wasn't a republic. The "Real Truth MVP" is
not Real, he doesn't write the Truth and he is no MVP.

Hi Barry,

Download and install Autoruns:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

On the "Everything" tab, scroll down until you find the occurrence of
that file. Right click and select Delete.

If you don't find it, open regedit (Start, Run, regedit, click OK).
Click on My Computer and press Ctrl-F, type in the dll name (double
check the letters) and click OK. When the entry is found, press Delete.
Press F3 to find the next occurrence. Continue until the search is
complete.

Sillyness. If you *could* find dfykssua.dll somewhere (which you almost
certainly can't) and installed it, it would re-infect your computer. See
responses from Pegasus and Ken Blake.

Umm, I didn't have the problem. Why are you responding to me with an
incorrect answer?
