Hi
Can anyone help? I am contualy getting a pop up, oguviqohu.dll not found in
c:\windows. What is it. How do i get rid

Thanks
 
It's likely an artifact of a Malware infection. A system call is being
made to load the malware module. Two things are indications of
this being Malware related - the name of the module and it's location.
You can use SysInternals Autoruns to locate the call to the module.

If you don't use Malwarebytes as a detect/removal tool you should
consider installing and running on a regular basis.

I agree with McCarty.

Use Autoruns to remove the orphaned start-up entries

To identify what loads when you boot use Autoruns (freeware from
Microsoft).
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

With Autoruns you can uncheck an item, which disables it from
starting,or you can right click an item and then delete it. If you
uncheck you can recheck to re-enable the item. It is a much safer
approach than editing the Registry and better than using msconfig..
Another useful feature of the programme is that you can right click an
item and select Search Online to get information about the item
selected.

Hope this helps.

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
