slxvdhse.dll WTF is that!

[Lt. Dan]

Man I'm stumped an old friend had me take a look at his computer this evening and on Start up he gets a warning box labeled Rundll and it says slxvdhse.dll is missing. I looked everywhere for this thing and there is no info on it. Has anyone seen this ??????? Everything seems to work OK

probably a randomly named file, I would start scanning that comp.

I did, I used Norton and found some missing dll and replaced them. Used Hijack This and didn't find anything out of the ordinary.....hmmm

What version of Norton? Scan with MalwareByte's Anti-Malware and see what comes up.

look under the run keys in the registry, that's probably where it's being called from. In the past when I've seen this, it's been a poorly cleaned up virus; something like AntiVirus 2010 or the like. It'll load randomly named dlls under the user's profile or the all user's profile and call it from the run keys in the registry.
