Regsvr32 error

[GoFigureItOut]

I let a friend borrow my laptop because her desktop is in storage. She returned it to me a complete mess! Toolbars were every where. I used Malwarebytes 2.0 to clean things up. Now, I'm getting a regsvr32 error.

The .DLL file that's being referenced no exists longer on the system. The strangest thing is, there's a .txt with the same name of the DLL. When I opened the text file with notepad ++, all of the contents is gibberish and has special characters. I used CCleaner to scan and fix the registry, but that didn't work as well. The actual DLL file no longer exists, so my question is will regsvr32 /u work? I think the directory may have been deleted.

Here's the .DLL file name: LFCMP13n

Try running a repair with a windows disk, alternatively, nuke the damn laptop after backing up your data. Then reconsider loaning your laptop to a friend, be it male or female.

EDIT: Quick search on the Microsoft forums recommends a repair/reinstall in almost every situation. (I'm assuming this dll is claimed to be in your TEMP folder?)

I'm not if this folder is consider to be a temp folder, but it resided in: \AppData\Local\Hpkqtsxqvj

I'm assuming it is a temp folder because of the random letters.

open a Run... prompt and type in %appdata% if you don't know how to get to that folder, it's a hidden folder in your user profile. I still recommend running a Windows nuke.

That is pretty much a virus. Try Combofix before nuking the system, it can fix some nasty things that viruses leave behind.

sounds like a virus removed your dll and was going to replace it with a trojan or similar infected version.
you could probably get the dll manually from a diferent computer or the internet, and that would fix that 1 problem...
but really the system sound pretty infected. so i would advise a reinstall to be safe.

I've been contemplating on using HTJ. On my other laptop (which I know is clean), there's a lot of "file missing" entries. Most of them are in the system folder. Is it possible that HJT doesn't work well with Windows 7?
