Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for reading my problem. I think I recently had an attempt by the SmitFraud virus to get on my computer, and it seems like it didn't work. Kaspersky stopped it, I got no blue screen of death, and the computer runs ok. However, in eliminating the problem, Kaspersky has deleted the file C:\Windows\System32\tdssadw.dll. I think it's a fake file that was put into the registry by the virus before Kaspersky could clean it up. Now every time I run just about any program, I get the message that:
The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\tdssadw.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
It doesn't stop the program from working, I only have to click the 'OK' button, and it starts up and works just fine. I've run the SmitFraud fix program in the hopes that that would fix this, but no go--it didn't even find any problems. So, basically, what can I do to get rid of this extremely annoying message? It's also possible that the problem is completely unrelated, but I don't think so. It started popping up shortly after Kaspersky blocked and denied a whole bunch of trojan programs while I was surfing.
The most annoying part is that this message pops up about six or seven times on startup. Any clues or help? Thank you in advance!
