RUNDLL problem at startup

In the Startup items is listed the following file:

wurigepo the string is:

Rundll32.exe"C:\WINDOWS\system32\wurigepo.dll",s

it is located at:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

The system it is on is:

Dell Latitude D620
running XP Profession version 2002
SP 2
Intel® Core™2 CPU
T7200 @ 2.00GHz
997 MHz 2.00 GB of RAM

On startup the following message appears in a WINDOWS error box with the header RUNDLL:

Errot loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\wurigepo.dll

The specified module cannot be found.


I go to the run/ msconfig utility and click the startup tab and it's listed and checked (as described above)

When I deselect it, I get a message that I cannot undo it without going into administrative mode.

I don't want to do that if I don't have to; I'm not familiar with that at all [I could try that] But isn't there a way to just go into the registry and eliminate that file?

Is this a needed, critical file? Is it on the XP system disc and could I just copy it to the Windows folder on the hard drive?

What is the easy and safe way to change this? It always shows at startup.

Please go to the malware forum and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE.

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.

I've run Spybot.

defragged the disc.

And it a lot of trojans, malware, adware were picked up.

This remains.

What other program would you recommend? It's not like I just had this and posted it after doing nothing? Are you sure it's malware? It does say administrative rights would remove it.

Other than adaware, what should I use?

I could do a hijack log and post it.
