I see there are 2 posting with the same problem that I am
having. When I go out on the internet this error message
appears. I can get rid of it when I do a system restore,
but when I shut down my computer and power up it comes
back again. Need help and Thanks.

Anthony,
This problem appears to be from the following:
Note: AdRoar adware was bundled with other files you downloaded

Note: shows up in HijackThis as:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E0F0E0E1-5D45-11D4-BC00-2DCC73302D70}
- C:\WINDOWS\system32\cpr.dll

[more info]
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.adroar.html

Go to: http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

With IE closed:

Rescan with HijackThis: Select: the above "02" entry
Remove the above entry by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed
checked'

Since the above was bundled with other possible parasites:

Ramesh, FYI, Mike Burgess of the opinion that this is the culprit.
There are two vatiants with cpr.dll. Source:

Thanks Henry. There are 2 variances of this spyware. One causes the "not a valid date" and the other "trial version of delphi". And 3 hijackthis logs show that the culprit is CPR.DLL [3 variances may be]

I suspected that each one would produce a different error.

My sources come from this site, maintained Tony Klein and co. Will find out
soon if there is a new variant.

A good resource to find the { CLSID I.D. } associated with these programs.
