Only a few days ago I noticed an error message when I turn
on my computer. It says, "The AVICAP32.DLL won't start.
Check the file to determine the problem." I have tried
several methods to get it working. I even went to my
friend's house. She has the same computer I have. I
signed on as a guest, emailed the file to myself, went
home, and downloaded the file from my email. I saved it
to c:\windows\system. I still got the error message when
I restarted the computer. I am getting so frustrated. I
don't know what to do.

I want to add that when I got the error messages, I
happened to use one of the screensavers I liked, but it
didn't work. I guess maybe it has something to do with
the AVICAP32.DLL file??

HELP!
Thanks
Peggy

It is possible you may have parasites, spyware, adware or
malware on your system causing the problem. Download,
install, update the programs to be sure they have the latest
definitions, then run the programs below. They are free and
very effective.Be sure to run both SpyBot and Adaware, as
what one does not detect the other may. It is important that
you follow all directions carefully:

I have been using Ad-aware 6.0. Two days ago I ran it,
and it says I have win32.small.trojan. I had them
quarantined and then deleted. I tried to find those in my
hard drive, but the search came up with nothing. I don't
know how I can find and delete them.

I also use Grisoft to scan for viruses, and so far, I
don't have any viruses.

Is win32.small.trojan dangerous? The detail in each
registry key, registry value, and/or file identified says
the risk is low. I will have to scan it again to get more
information to post here.

I still get the error message regarding AVICAP32.DLL :-(

Peggy...Try the information bellow. Download, install and immediately
update the
Stinger to be sure you have the latest definitions, then run it. It is a
very powerful tool. Symantec also has some very good Trojan removal tools.
