- error message at start up
- Posted by paul on March 1st, 2004
Can anyone help me fix an error message that keeps popping
up every time I start Windows?
The message says...
Error Starting Program
a required DLL file, PSAPI.DLL was not found.
I am not an experienced user so any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!!

psapi.dll is not a Win Me file although included as part of MS Office and with
Win 2K/XP systems.
I believe that you have a variant of the CoolWebSearch parasite so I would
suggest that you download and use the CWShredder tool to remove it if present
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/f...wshredder.zip). Unfortunately
neither AdAware or SpyBot seem to be able as yet to detect the CoolWebSearch
parasite as it keeps changing. For more details of the CoolWebSearch parasite
see http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html.
You may have problems in accessing merijn's site at the moment as it is
currently under attack, probably by those responsible for CoolWebSearch. If
you can't get to that site then version v1.50.1 (itf not a more recent copy)
is also available from http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip
