    Hi! I've getting a start up error saying:

    RunDLL
    Error loading C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\xmogx.dll
    The specified module could not be found.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of this message from start up?

    Thanks!

    You're likely infected with some form of malware.
    You can easily get rid of just that message by going start > run > msconfig and finding "C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\xmogx.dll" on the startup tab and unchecking it, then hitting apply.

    What anti-virus do you use? Do you use any anti-spyware?
    Do you have any other problems with the PC?

    Hey Hep!

    Dang. That's a bummer. Ok great! I just did it and am about to restart to see if it removes the message. The start up program name is akxos.

    I'm using AVG. It's done me well so far and I haven't noticed any other problems. I'll be sure to post any other problems but so far so good. :) Thanks for your help!
