upon startup I get an error loading vyfilhun.dll

[Kittin_101]

Upon Startup of my computer I get an error messege that says:

error loading c:\windows\system32\vyfilhun.dll
specified module could not be found

I have been getting this for a while and it is really annoying. So I got
all my downloads updated, defraged my comp and it is still there. SOOOoooo
I went to msconfig and in the start tab unchecked the little box infront of
the vyfilhun spot. I clicked apply and then restarted my comp. IT IS STILL
THERE!

How annoying. I have unchecked this box about 10 times now and each time I
restart my computer the box is REchecked and I get the error messege again.

How do I get rid of this pesky thing? I have updated my virus program and
ran it as well. It came back clean. I tryied unchecking the box again...
Still same story.

PLEASE HELP!

Thank yoU!

That is a sign of a malware infection (a randomly named DLL that you cannot
find in a Google search). It appears your AV/Malware tool did not catch it.
The rechecking means some component is still active.

There is some reading material here, with suggestions such as MBAM.

Some malware is equipped to download other malware, so an infection
may not be a simple one. There may be multiple components. The process
to follow may involve multiple steps. If someone comes by and says
"try my xxxx tool", there are no simple fixes for this. Reading the
above link, will give you some idea how detailed this process can be.

This is probably a residue of a malware/virus infection that your virus
scanner cleaned up. There is still a reference to it in your startup tasks -
hence the error message. You can deal with it like so:
- Click Start / Run / msconfig{Enter}
- Click the Startup tab.
- Untick unknown items in this list. Leave the virus scanner in place.
- Reboot the machine.

If this fixes the problem then one of the unticked items caused it. If
it doesn't then you need to untick more items.

Note that unticking items will NOT prevent your machine from starting.
It may, however, reduce the functionality of some applications such
as RealPlayer. Since the process is completely reversible, there is
nothing to worry about.

You don't need a custom cleaner. Here are somethings that you can try to rid
yourself of that pesky file http://www.randem.com/virusproblems.html

This looks like a remnant from malware or virus removal.

I recently saw the same type of message on startup on a machine that
had been infected with conficker.a

Most likely you still have a reference to the dll in the run key in
the registry.

Open regedit.exe and navigate to:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run

and look on the right for any reference to your problem dll.

It will likely have some random name like jtktrjlj with a value
similar to:

rundll32.exe "C:\windows\system32\vyfilhun.dll,vyyklfw

Just delete the entire line and restart and you'r error message should
go away.

Your issue is a prime example of why good registry cleaners are needed.
Don't listen to the others who say registry cleaners are "snake oil". To fix
your issue automatically, download CCleaner from here
http://www.ccleaner.com/ install it and when you run it select the registry
icon on the left to clean your registry. Let it fix all but choose to backup
when prompted. Your problem should then be fixed.

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting
directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to
pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST
Block list, and who provides a tool for your use that will block access
to reputable anti-malware sites without telling you he's doing it?

Do you really want to trust someone that has had to change their posting
identity after being busted by MS as a fake MVP?

Stalking is a crime butts, stop stalking me.

Leythos pounded out on the keyboard:

If it's a crime, WHY don't you do something about it, rather than just
re-stating yourself over and over again? I've seen your comment about
this repeatedly. DO IT! Or stop replying to them.
