missing DLL.CTHOOK file what does that mean??

Everytime i turn my laptop on ERROR STARTING PROGRAM: missing DLL.CTHOOK file pops up. i can use everything else, such as Microsoft Word, etc, but everytime i try to connect to the internet it freezes and i have to end task, uninstall AOL and then reinstall AOL everytime so i can get on. i am very confused and don't know what to do. HELP!!

Start by getting "SpyBot S&D" run it and get it to fix all it finds, then get "Hijack This" run it and post the log file here and someone will look at it.

 

I had exactly the same problem and scoured the internet for ages looking for an answer. Nothing worked. I finally fixed it by installing Registry Mechanic from www.download.com.

I purchased Registry Mechanic and it has helped me out of loads of scrapes since.

Hope this helps.
