dll errors

[Gerri]

when i'm browsing certain websites i get a mslv32.dll
error and a kernel32.dll, and then ie shuts down. what's
causing this and how do i fix it?

The only reference I can find to the file mslv32.dll is that it is possibly a
rogue browser help object and therefore probably unwanted.

First give your system a thorough check with your preferred antivirus
application equipped with a current updated set of antiviral signatures.

This would be a good time to download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware 6.0
from Lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also SpyBot
Search & Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/) and use them to check your
system for other commercial parasites remembering that they are only as good
as when you last updated their reference files. I also use a program called
BHODemon (http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm that checks for
unwanted Browser Help Objects and SpywareBlaster
(http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareblaster.html) which can help prevent
some parasites getting a grip on your PC.

Then there is CWShredder
(http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip or
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip) which is the best way
of getting rid of the many forms of the CoolWebSearch hijacker details of
which can be found at http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html
and also http://www.pestpatrol.com/pestinfo/c/cws.asp..

Finally if you still continue to experience problems download a copy of
HijackThis from (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html). Create a
folder called hijackthis on C: and copy the file you downloaded to that
folder. Close as many applications as you can including all instances of
Internet Explorer and then run hijackthis.exe and post back the log, provided
that it isn't too long, to this thread, otherwise to the HijackThis Forum at
http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/ and hopefully this will enable someone to
identify the cause of your problem.

One hint about downloading spybot. It is almost impossible to download the
program itself or updates form the home site. Do a Google (ouch) or a yahoo
search for spybot and it will direct you to several mirror sites. You
should have no trouble downloading the program or updates from mirror sites.
Pick the one closest to you. Mike A.

Except for a period of a couple days last month(ish) when their server
was apparently under attack, I haven't had any problems at all with
downloads or updates from Safe-Networking's website
