Boot Error - Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\pndrhell.dll (HyjackThis Log)
Dell Latitude Laptop
Windows XP Pro
I uninstalled some unnecessary applications and seem to have deleted a needed dll OR I may have malware installed although it must be inactive because I don't seem to have problems.
Here is the problem everytime I boot up before all the start up applications are loaded I get an error message (from Rundll.exe).
Error loading C:\WINDOWS\system32\pndrhell.dll
The specified module could not be found.
I have tried to find it in most of the major dll download sites but nothing there. When I do a Google search I get no information on it. However somewhere I got the information perhaps at Zone Alarm that it was a net framework 1 file. Otherwise no one seems to know what pndrhell.dll is. Both Microsoft or some of the Virus sites (AVG and Zone Alarm, etc) do not have any information on it.
The name is certainly odd but that may be nothing. I am concerned that if it is some major application file that I could screw things up by installing over an application -- and of course which application do I install Netframework 1 or 2 - If that is where the file belongs.

I see that several BHOs have the file missing. These were some of the files that I removed because I had a hijacker loading some ads and search page that I had never seen. So I disabled most of my BHOs with the exception of a few that I am familiar with (like RoboForm). I also removed a few other unnecessary applications that I did not want.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

Welcome. Thank you for using Dell Community Forums.
I am reviewing your log. That file is malware.
While I arrange for a way to approach this, you can help me by doing the following:
* Have you have posted this issue on another forum? If so, please provide a link to the topic.
* If you are using any cracked software, please remove it.
Definition of cracked software:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_cracking
* If you are using any P2P (file sharing) programs, please remove them before we clean your computer. That includes torrents.
The nature of such software and the high incidence of malware in files downloaded with them is counter productive to restoring your PC to a healthy state. If you have music files in those programs' folders that you want to save, please move those music files to another directory.
A list of P2P's is here: http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=si_virus&thread.id=69430
* If this computer belongs to someone else, do you have authority to apply the fixes we will use?
* Have you already fixed entries using HijackThis? If so, please restore all the backups and then post another log.
* After we begin working, please print or copy all instructions to Notepad in order to assist you when carrying out procedures.
Please follow all instructions in sequence. Do not, on your own, install/re-install any programs or run any fixes or scanners that you have not been instructed to use because this may cause conflicts with the tools that I am using.
* During the course of our cleanup please do not do any online work or surfing until we have verified that your system is clean.
* We may be using some specialized tools during our fix. Certain embedded files that are part of legitimate programs or specialized fix tools such as process.exe, restart.exe, SmiUpdate.exe, reboot.exe, ws2fix.exe, prcviewer.exe and nircmd.exe may at times be detected by some anti-virus/anti-malware scanners as a "RiskTool", "Hacking tool", "Potentially unwanted tool", or even "malware (virus/trojan)" when that is not the case.
Such programs have legitimate uses in contexts where an authorized user or administrator has knowingly installed it. These detections do not necessarily mean the file is malware or a bad program. It means it has the potential for being misused by others. Anti-virus scanners cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert you or even automatically remove them.
* If your replies do not fit in one post while we are handling your issue, please reply to yourself until all text is submitted. It may take several posts.
* After one week if you have not replied to my most recent post, I will consider this forum thread INACTIVE. If you would like me to continue handling your issue after that time, please send me a Private Message with a request to do so.
Instructions posted for this user are customized for this user only. The tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections. If you think you have similar problems, please post a HijackThis log at the top of this board to start a new forum topic.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here or Here
Notes:
**If you encounter this message:"c:\program files\malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamext.dll Unable to register the dll/ocx: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x5" Click on ignore mbamext.dll
**If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Ok Bugbatter
No I don't have any cracked software.
No I don't/can't use file sharing programs -- this is a work computer and things must be kept confidential although I do download freeware from 1 or 2 reputable websites.
And I know how this happened. I clicked on an Ad Link accidentially and the window popped up behind the window I had open asking to install their search engine. When I hit a carriage return it accepted it and installed some junk on my computer. I know something like this happened because I started getting those little window ads. At the time I thought a BHO had been installed. So I tried to remove the ones that I did not know. And that was what started the problem.
This is the projects computer and I am co-director so I can make the decision to fix it.
No I have not applied any fixes with HiJackThis.
