error loading dll

[doncee]

Recently Avast antivirus located & quarantined some apparent malware or
trojan virus problems on my XP system. The workstation is working fine
with no problems however every time it gets rebooted I get the following
message "error loading c\Windows\kbdorx.dll" This is one of the files
that Avast put in the virus chest. Is there a way to eliminate the
missing dll message on boot up since I am assuming this file is
apparently part of the malware or trojan. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

The malware was deleted by your a/v software, but the reference to the
file was not removed from the registry.

Click Start, Run, type REGEDIT, click OK. Press the Home key, press F3,
type the name of the file into the search pane. Click "Find Next", and
when located, delete the reference to the file. Press F3 to continue
the search.

You can click File, Export, and save the entry to the Desktop. If you
remove it and there's a problem, double-click the .reg file you exported
to the Desktop and it'll be added to the registry again. You can create
a restore point before editing the registry too.

You could click Start, Run, type MSCONFIG, click OK, click the StartUp
tab, and deselect the item(s). When you restart the computer, you will
be warned that you're running in the Diagnostic mode; click to not alert
you again, and OK out. You won't see the message again. But I think
it's best to just remove the references from the registry.

Thanks for the advice. I ran msconfig & unchecked the references in the
startup section to the 2 dll files & that seems to have corrected the
issue. Once again thanks for the follow-up
