Strange DLLs Using CPU

[GiBB]

Lately my PC has been running really slow and i couldnt
understand why until i checked the processes and noticed
that a strange DLL was using all of the cpu. After i ended
the process my PC went back to normal.

This is happens every time i switch it on and i cant seem
to find the DLL and delete it.

Has anyone else had this problem?

The dll was something like 315AB2D.dll

Thanks

most likely a virus, worm, trojan, adware, or spyware. scan for all the
above with the latest tools.

Yea i was wondering if it maybe a virus, However i do have
the latest software installed and it is up to date. But i
will run a scan anyway just to make sure.

Cheers

don't forget all the other catagories of malware... most virus scanners
won't find all the other possible things that could be running, you may even
be a spam relay and not know it.

If running Adaware (or equiv.) doesn't remove the .dll....just delete it : )
....you may have to boot up into Safe Mode to do so
