rundll error

[bruce lawson]

Hi, Once in a while whenever IE6 is running I get a RUNDLL error message box
that says "Error loading óê÷w The specified module could not be found"
Never heard of one with extended characters but that's what's there. I
looked at task manager to see what rundll was doing and the only item listed
in processes was NvCpl.dll. Search revealed this could be legitimate NVideo
driver. I did remove it from the Run key in the registry, but no fix, so I
reinstalled it. It apparently loads accessibility functions to windows by
design. Any ideas what else may be the problem? TYIA

I've already scanned for that and repaired them (there were 2), but I'm
still getting the message. I guess my ? is what program or process might
trigger such a cryptic message? As I said, there is only the NVidia process
being started and run by Rundll.

Dollars to donuts the viruses/spyware are still on your computer.

Thanks for keeping me on track. I updated Norton 2003 to 2006, and detected
a bloodhound, unknown. Fixed it and that solved the problem.
