I just recently installed a copy of winzip I got from a friend and now my computer is doing a bunch of random crap...it wont access some websites (eg: facebook, hotmail) (I use FireFox.) it also randomly shuts off whenever it wants to. When I start up my computer I get a message saying "Error Loading C:\windows\system32\nrbuhwxf.dll Specified Module Could Not Be Found" What does this mean and does it have anything do do with my computer acting the way it is? any help would be greatly appreciated as my wife is a facebook addict. Thanks

It looks as though you may have been handed a copy carrying malware. The error message pointing to an unknown dll file and the sudden symptoms your pc is showing is a more than fair indication. Your post would have better been served in the security and virus forum. How often are the reboots?... if they are quite regular this may be the malware running a shut-down command. You will want access to the internet while you do a clean-up so it might be an idea to override this first. Click "Start" > "Run" then type in shutdown -a and hit enter note there is a space between shutdown and -a The first thing to do is run a scan with your anti-virus program... If you haven't got one installed download and install Avast then when prompted schedule the boot-time scan. This will restart your pc and run the scan before the operating system loads. Don't run Avast if you already have an AV program as they will probably conflict. Then download SUPERAntispyware, install it and update it. Boot into safe mode (use the F8 key method during startup, don't boot into safe mode through msconfig)and run the thorough scan. After the SAS scan has finished reboot your pc normally and run the scan again to see any infections are still present. While the scans are running note down whats detected (the malware name) and post them back here.

try it on safe mode. it will detect more wares/virus in there.

"it also randomly shuts off whenever it wants to." Win XP is set by default to automatically reboot when it encounters an unrecoverable error. To have XP possibly display an error message you can investigate instead of the computer rebooting: 1. Click Start, and then right-click My Computer. 2. Click Properties. 3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery. 4. Under System failure, click on the small box beside Automatically restart to remove the checkmark. 5. Click OK, and then click OK. If you then get an error message, look at all of it's details. ..... "... I get a message saying "Error Loading C:\windows\system32\nrbuhwxf.dll Specified Module Could Not Be Found" " Are you sure you spelled the file name right? I get no hits when I search with it except for this thread. Determine whether it is still on your computer, and whether or not you might be able to disable the message.....
