Recently i've been getting the error message that dx7vb32.dll is not a valid image. The error came up whenever i launched a program. This morning when i restarted my pc, that error msg was constantly appearing (very annoying).
So i checked it out online, it supposedly due to a virus/malware and on mnay forums they said to do a complete scan with several different antivirus programs.
However on one forum, someone suggested to use "Autoruns for windows'
The file was only 605kb so i thought why not. With that program, you can see everything at startup, search for startup files, verify them and disable them. I was surprised at the amount of files being auto run on startup. It's very user friendly too. It fixed my problem!
