ntvdm.exe - Bad Image

[Keith]

I recieve the following error message about every hour or
so.

Title of the error window is - ntvdm.exe - Bad Image


The error message that appears is as follows:

The application or DLL
C:\WINNT\AppPatch\Win2KPropagateLayer.dll is not a valid
Windows image. Please check this against your
installation diskette.

If you hit ok on the error window you can keep working in
windows... but what can I do to eliminate this.????

HELP!!!!!!!!

Do you know what that file is? Whatever it is, it's being injected into
ntvdm (a MS binary used to run old 16-bit programs).
Without knowing why this dll is there, my recommendation would be to run
virus and spyware scanners.

I don't think there's anything you can do.
