rndll error message on startup

[Guest]

hi

when i boot up computer i get a RNDLL ERROR message, actually two of them;
i close them and the computer works fine. although apparently not critical
it is annoying. the message says: error lloading C:\windows\system
32\inetp60.dll; "the specified module could not be found."

i was told the problem is not rndll but one of my startup programs. is that
true?
if i run the config utility diagnostic tool how do i know which startup
program is causing the problem?

thanks for your help

It's malware. See this link:

You don't need to buy a program like NIS or spysweeper to remove it.
There are plenty of good free programs.

Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing
update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update
and run them weekly.

Make sure you have a firewall active at all times. If nothing else use
the one built into XP, but there are a variety of free third party ones
that do a better job from Sygate, Zone Alarm or Kerio.

the latest security patches from Windows Update too.
