BleepingComputer.com: dll error

Getting this error on startup on an hp 7360n media center pc running XP media center. Has 2gb ram a nvidia geforce 6200 se video card. I have AVG free, Spybot SnD, CCleaner,Malwarebytesand spywareblaster on it. I googled the dll but found no direct references to this particular dll. Anyone have an idea what to do with this? Thanks.

error loading c:windows\ibitas.dll

Such often appear where malware items have been removed from the system...but a pointer still remains to run the malware as a startup.

I would download/install AutoRuns for Windows - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb963902.aspx .

I would then go to the Logon tab (reflects the normal startup items) of Autoruns...and search for an item related to the named file.

I would delete this.

I will try that this afternoon. Thanks.

I did as you said and found the startup and then when I rebooted it showed another one. Got rid of that and now it boots fine. Thanks.

You are welcome...happy computing .
