When booting up Windows XP Media Edition SP3 i get an error message stating
that "The specified module--- C:\WINDOWS\system 32\lvdfsvmw.dll--- could not
be found. Everything seems to be working but i have no idea what this library
file does or how important it is, or not, as the case may be. Can anyone tell
me where to get this .dll from and how to install it? Regards, CBB
 
Malicious software ("malware") could be installed on your computer.

Make sure that your anti-malware software is running, then download the
latest signatures and run a full scan.

If you don't have comprehensive anti-malware software, that's like
driving a car without seats belts or air bags. Either way, you're
eventually going to get hammered. Install comprehensive anti-malware
software and learn how to use its features. A 'comprehensive' solution
scans for all types of malicious software in the background, on demand
and on schedule.

For now try scanning your system with /several/ of the better online
scanners, such as:
Kaspersky Antivirus (http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner)
Panda ActiveScan (http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan)

Download HijackThis from www.trendsecure.com. Run it, save a log, and
post the log at one of the many sites that support HJT, such as
spywarewarrior.com, bleepingcomputer.com, and temerc.com -- but not
here. Within a day, sometimes within an hour, you'll have one-on-one
step-by-step advice from a security expert on cleaning up any
infestations—or you'll have a clean bill of health from the volunteer
expert.

Even the best detection and removal software can't fix every malware
infection. If none of the above remove the infection, you may want to
show the computer to a professional.
 
Thanks for the advice. This error message came about as a result of advice
from AVG following a trojan horse incident that got past their anti-virus
program installed on this machine. Unfortunately it was not me but my wife
who initiated the calls and took the actions advised. I am not after
anybody's blood over this other than the idiots of the world who spend their
time writing virus programs to cause other people they don't know problems.
In fairness to AVG when the original incident occured Kaspersky couldn't find
the problem either but within 2 days the AVG software did update and
irradicate the virus and its effects but the missing module error is still
with us. I will do as you suggest and install some other anti-malware and see
what happens. I know there are millions of bits of code required to make
windows work but it would be nice just to be able to go to a MS site and
download any missing or corrupted files wouldn't it!

Thanks again CBB.
