Hi
I downloaded a regcure program & my AV told me there was a virus in
it, so I stopped running it & removed the program
Now I have a missing .dll
c\:windows\system32\iifcYSMG.dll
Anyone know how to fix please?
Running Vista
A Google search for "iifcYSMG.dll" brought up nothing. When you don't get
any hits for a file name on Google, chances are high that it is a malware
file. Either you uninstalled the malware program or your
antivirus/antispyware program did. In any case, a reference was left to the
file in Startup. You can remove the reference by managing your Startup.
Because you had one piece of malware, the chances are also high that you had
others. It would be a good idea to scan. I recommend downloading and
installing MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) from
http://www.malwarebytes.org. The program is free. (There is a paid version
but you don't need to buy it to remove malware.)
Manage Startup:
Start Orb>Search box>type: msconfig and when it appears in the Results box
above, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator".
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation,
type the password, or click Continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab.
You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get
a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Usually in Vista this will be
blocked by Windows Defender and you'll need to allow it so you can then
tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".
The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup -
