1172285 2011-01-24 09:05:00 After logging in the following error message box comes up when windows starts -

RunDLL

There was a problem starting winerv32.rom
The specified module cannot be found.

Click OK, the box dissappears, and all seems normal...

Google has not been as helpful as usual with this frustrating error message.
Brand new last year with full and updated Norton 360 premium.


an incomplete uninstall?
failed virus / worm?
malware / spyware?

Any help much appreciated

1172286 2011-01-24 09:18:00 Could be malware. Get ccleaner (www.ccleaner.com) install it then run it. Then go to tools/startup then delete its entry. Then post a hijackthis log (free.antivirus.com). Get 2.04

Install / run this, then click on scan the system and save a log. Copy and paste the log here

ccleaner did wonders for my system, but did not fix the problem.
More research hinted that this dll is associated with ms mesenger which I uninstalled around the same time as the problem started.
I have manually deleted the "winerv32.rom" line from the registry, and it has fixed the issue.

Playing with the registry is Scary Stuff!!

Cheers

1172288 2011-01-24 10:45:00 Post a hijackthis log. Ccleaner wont fix the prob, but if that file is in startup (and it appears in tools/startup in ccleaner), you should delete its entry. So it wont run on startup Speedy Gonzales (78)

Good thing it worked for you. I had another case of rundll error message before, tried cleaning with antivirus, CC cleaneer, but it was till there. I had no choice but do a reformat. I was not even able to delete it, saying it is being used by a program.
