try running internet explorer repair tool you can find
this in your system information program (in system
information look at the top of the window you will see
drop down menu "tools" click that and should be in that
menu its worth a bash deek.
 
try this:
start->run
run this command: regsvr32 /u winshow.dll
restart the computer
delete winshow.dll, winshow.cfg, dict.dat from ur
computer.

hope it will help.

Ask this in an appropriate newsgroup.

Does this involve WinXP? NO
Does this involve Hardware? NO

Bye bye now.
 
Steve,

Winshow.dll is part of a spyware/home page hijacker called Searchv.com. You
can find the complete details about this at:

To remove this error, Download and install Ad-aware:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

Spybot Search and destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org

Download and install these programs, use the "update" option and then scan
your system for spyware and scumware. Choose to remove everything that is
detected as unwanted. This should solve the problem.

Best of luck,

Prasad
