The complete error message is as follows:

"Error loading C:\windows\system32\smucsjro.dll. The specified module could
not be found."

And now I'm getting another similar error message:

"Error loading C:\windows\system32\mjlvwgka.dll. The specified module could
not be found."

Thanks.

I'm helping to clean a computer and I'm getting the following error message
when booting up: Windows cannot load C:\windows\system32\smucsjro.dll.

At this point in the game, I’m not buying it’s a valid windows error. I
suspect it’s something to do with a Trojan or other spy/malware. I can’t
find this file on my box and I can't seem to find anything concerning this
dll on any tekkie website.

The computer also has Trojan that’s a pain to get removed (Trojan.Vundo).

I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

The way the name change on every boot indicate it is a kind of malware or
Viral infection or remnants from the removal of the Vundo still read by the
operating system on boot.
You need to scan from other vendors to get a clear opinion on how clean your
system is, also you can send your Hijack log to one of many forums on the net
for analysis.
Scan for malware from here:

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. Post
