Help! , <question at end> Every time I boot my computer, it says: A required .DLL file, MSVBVM60.DLL, was not found. [OK] Click on OK (no real choice) and everything is fine. Of course I've scanned with the usual av, nothing shows. Can't find anything in my startup/registry. I've tried to attach a debugger to this, to see if I can find out what it is that is running, but just that act causes a reboot. Which partly sounds like some novice script kiddie got some proper virus code and bolted some of their VB onto it and partly like someone real smart who knows just how hard it can be to dissassemble/debug VB (and/or is trying to wipe VB from the face of the earth). Now, the very last thing I will ever, ever do is go hunt for that dll and install it to see what mayhem this thing might do! QUESTION: can I scan, myself, through .exes/registry entries/whatever to find something that needs MSVBVM60.DLL? (And yes, I'm talking about an Eu program to do that) Any tips appreciated, Pete
