Error Loading

Every time I start up my computer I get the message " Error Loadingc:\windows\system32\pldoearc.dll". "The specified module could not be found."

I installed Windows XP over again and message still came up as it did prior to installing again. After I click OK, seems to be working fine......How do I correct this problem? When I first got my Dell, never had this problem.

Thank you!

    Yes, I am postive. I wrote down exactly what the screen displayed. Just one note, just above the error message, there is "RUNDLL" heading.....again it says" C:\windows\system32\pldoearc.dll". Not unless the o is an zero, but do not think so....Thanks, still need help....

    Google returns only your post here for a "pldoearc.dll"  search, so I have no clue as to what is causing this, sorry.

     

    It could be malware.

     

    Go to this forum http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board?board.id=si_hijack  and read the RED link at the top and then post your log on that forum along with what you have stated here, also post the Model of Dell you have and the OS Version. Please include a description of any other symptoms of malware you may have.
