MSW Bar.dll

The user gets this after logging in. I know service pack 2 is loaded and I still get this error. The fix was supposed to be reload service pack 2. It did not work. Any ideas? The error is MSWBAR.dll cannot be found.

>>The error is MSWBAR.dll cannot be found

The error should be "Spyware DLL could not be loaded. I assume you mean "MWSBAR.dll" - check out http://www.pchell.com/support/mywebsearch.shtml

Anyway neither DLL is from MS:

http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/?dlltype=file&l=55&alpha=MSWBAR.dll&S=1
http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/?dlltype=file&l=55&alpha=MWSBAR.dll&S=1
That's a MyWebSearch dll, the file is most likely gone but the reg entry is still present, let us look at your hijackthis log and we'll show you what entries to fix.

Please download HijackThis 1.99.1
http://www.cyberanswers.org/forum/uploads/HijackThis1991.exe
Open Hijackthis, click "Do a system scan and save a logfile" don't fix anything.
Notepad will also open, copy its contents and paste it to either these sites:
http://www.rafb.net/paste/
then at the bottom left corner click "paste"
Copy the address/url and post it here:

Or paste the log at --> http://www.hijackthis.de/ 
and click "Analyse", click "Save".  Post the link to the saved list here.
>>That's a MyWebSearch dll

Have I been so unclear about http://www.pchell.com/support/mywebsearch.shtml ?

I am sorry, but in the TAs where I am usually around, we try to not be redundant without referencing earlier mentions of the same thing.
My saying of "That's a MyWebSearch dll" wasn't because I wanted to repeat whatever is in your link, I didn't even go there.

I know it was MyWebSearch, so I suggested hijackthis log for me to look at, entries can defer in every variants, just like AboutBlank it has many variants, and I would never suggest people to fix any entries using hijackthis because of the known reason that they can screw up their system if they don't know what they're doing.

Everytime I suggest hijackthis, that means I want to see the entries myself, I don't even suggest those automated analyzer because they are very incompetent and give false positives.

If you think I have repeated your comment, it is not intensional and we should as experts think of the Asker's benefit. All info posted on this thread are for the Asker's own benefit.
I I don't care too much about points, points are just an added bonus.

The Asker can give you all the points but I still post if I could because I want to help :)

Hey, sorry about that, we are here because we want to help, don't worry about anything starting, :)

How are things going?  Do you still need help?
Do you have the hijackthis log please.
We had a outbreak of virus here and I now have time to get back to what this was about. I will run it today and post the log. Thanks for all the help from all of you many times over. I love the site and have gotten many more to finally join and they are real glad they did. Thanks again. By the way the going back and forth is good for the mind. I hate yes people. I would rather have another say, well maybe not than nothing. Thanks again and I will post the log.
