DLL Issue
I have a user that caught a virus. In the process of removing the virus and directory folder, somehow now when I boot the machine it comes up with two error boxes. I receive these two messages that I now have to close each time after login. They only appear when the user that caught the virus logs in. If I log in as an admin the boxes do not appear. The machine seems to run ok but these two boxes are annoying.

Profile had to be rebuilt.
Thanks for the update and I was happy to help (although I do understand rebuilding a profile is a pain).

Lots of viruses load there own dll's under valid applications, thinking you won't dare remove something that you know is installed.
Since these point to a user vs all users you can be pretty sure that they are not really part of the real application.
You could also verify that it's not needed by looking in the same location on a user login that doesn't give the error.
