Every time I start my computer, I get an error message:

Error loading "w9a8e18b.dll"
The Specified file could not be found


Anyone know how I could find out what it goes to? Or how to stop getting the message?

Sounds like a piece of spyware or something..that's a real weird DLL name.

Google has no hits for the name, so it sounds like a randomly generated name...probably from a virus, or spyware, or something similar.

Make sure you do a virus scan with an updated scanner, or use some kind of anti-spyware tool...hopefully one of them will remove it.

I think you are correct.
I have run a large number of anti-spyware programs, and my computer seems to be recovered, except for this.
Is there any way to find out what program it is associated with?
As in, what program is asking for it at start-up?
