    Hi Guys,

    Every time I restart or open our desktop pc, right after I typed the password , desktop screen shows this message:

    "Error loading C:\DOCUMENTS\LOCALS~1\tEMP\483753126Wsy.dll The specified module could not be found."

    What does this suppose to mean? Could I fix this? Do I need to configure or download something to remedy this problem? Thank you very much in advance :)

    Looks like antivirus software may have partially cleaned something up. Not entirely sure, though. Any pseudo-random DLL name, especially with that file path, usually is dodgy software of some sort.

    autoruns is a program that shows all of the programs that start automatically when Windows starts--think msconfig on steroids.

    download it, run it, and search for
    483753126Wsy.dll

    uncheck the line that includes this (my guess is under the browser helper opjects section) with this and reboot. Does the problem go away?

    If so, you can reload autoruns, right click the line and choose DELETE
