Rundll error

[Guest]

After I have typed in my password and my desk top is loading I get a message
pop up saying - Rundll - error loading w006b514.dll - The specified module
could not be found. Does anyone know what this means and what I can do to
correct this problem?

Yes. It almost certainly means that your system had, or still has, a
malware infection. You'll probably find the reference to the loader in
MSCONFIG (start, run, msconfig) on the Startup tab.

Semi-random, generated filenames like that are a giveaway that something is
on the system that shouldn't be there.

You should do a careful scan of the system. If you have a good enough
connection, you can use the online virus/malware scanner at TrendMicro.

And you should do system maintenance like clearing the browser caches and
temporary folders. ccleaner can help greatly with that: www.ccleaner.com .
I never let it install the Yahoo toolbar.
