System32/jiwofehu.dll missing file

I get a warning window:

Windows/System32/jiwofehu.dll is missing

If you do a Google search on the name of the files, I think that each result that comes up says it's a kind of malicious software.

It looks like a startup lettover item of perhaps a few other malwares that removed the suspect left but left the start-up input.  (This is common).

Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

Provide information on your system, the better you can:

What is your system brand and model?

What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

No matter what you use for the antivirus/antimalware software follow these steps:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
If you do not have a good explanation for the name of the file in a Google search, the chances are good that your system is currently or has been infected by malware.
A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.

You must be sure to solve the problem and not just fix the symptom of the problem by simply relieving your message - system is not a fix (there is a difference).

If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry. There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
You can also use the Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely
.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
You can also click file, search to search for logon, or any tab for all or part of the name of the element.
Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry later.  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.

  • c:\windows\system32\d11872t14.dll missing file

    Original title: c:\windows\system32\d11872t14.dll

    I got a message saying that this file is missing: c:\windows\system32\d11872t14.dll. . How can I get that back?

    It confuses me again why the MS Answers forum does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked because we don't know anything on your system.

    You see only this message when you start your system and then good, things work or come to the top when you do certain things and if so, what do you do when you see?

    I did a Google search on this DLL and did not get any results (except your message), which makes the suspicious file.

    If you see the message when you restart your system and then things work very well after that (for example, after clicking OK), I think I do it in this direction:

    It is sometimes easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem by simply deleting the startup message.
    I would also not recommend you start digging in the registry to try to find the startup item and remove it unless you have a backup of your system or at least a backup of your registry, because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
    These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom if they not even work at all, but they can't actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.  You don't need to try ideas that might work, you must do something that will always work all the time.
    Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
    There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.  If you do not have a good explanation for the name of the file in a Google search, the chances are good that your system is currently or has been infected by malware.

  • msdvcp110.dll missing file error

    msdvcp110.dll missing file error

    I'm done with the installation of c ++ redistribution and everything but does not work for ultimate express

    Original title: installation of visual studio 2012 on windows 8

    Hi Mike,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    The error you get can be caused by components from Visual C++ Runtime libraries that are missing or get conflicted, perhaps due to a third party software or badly configured registry settings.

    So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists:

    Method 1:

    I suggest to install the Visual C++ Redistributable package in the system to boot and try to run the applications:

    Step 1: Clean boot of the system.

    Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: refer to "How to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as usual after a repair.

    Step 2: Download the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 and install.

    Click on the link below and install it on your computer.

    Package redistributable Visual C++ to Visual Studio 2013

    If she fails to install and then try to install the Package redistributable Visual C++ 2010 in compatibility mode. Follow the steps in the link given below to install Visual C++ 2010 redistributable Packages in compatibility mode. Please see the following article:

    Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    Try to run a scan of the file system (CFS) auditor to check corruption of system files in the system. SFC scan will search for system files corrupted on the computer and fix them.

    1. Press the Windows key + X, click prompt (Admin).
    2. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

  • Root Windows satellite 5200 701 system32/hal.dll missing

    My Toshiba s5200 701 crashed today.

    Windows displays this error:

    First of all, this Toshiba is a European model and I live in the USA.
    Second, the model is old.

    Hello

    I read on issues such as
    You need to reinstall the OS, but it would also be possible that this error is related to the defective HARD and/or RAM disk.
    Many uses had this error again after the new installation of the OS and in individual cases the RAM or the HARD drive has been affected as well.

    What to say; It s your decision what you want to do... I recommend reinstall Win XP once more to verify if this question relates only to lack hal.dll in the system32 folder.
    However the Win XP license is cheap, because Win 7 is on the market and no one wants to use 'old' OS which will be more in the coming years...

  • \Windows\system32\config\system MISSING file of repair

    I have a T400 who HAD an XP Pro operating system... Google chrome has frozen the system and I did a hard reboot and the computer had lost the configuration of the registry file. Microsoft recommends that the oem disc should be used, instead of a commercial version of the operating system. It's my DISLIKE for the purchase of a laptop computer with the OEM software, without a backup disk. If there is a problem, the manufacturer generally is going to drag you dry. I thought that this stratagem of Toshiba, but not of Lenovo. Hell, you can't even ask 'em to a disk if you are out of warranty. Stone wall. Why is it not possible to ask even an OEM Lenovo restore disk?

  • Mfc30.dll missing file

    I have an old program, Edmark thought ' things 1 (for windows 95) that I would install on my computer with XP, but it says miss me the file mfc30.dll you know where I can get a copy of the file security

    I got a stop a CD of Windows 95 and downloaded the compressed version (mfc30.dl_) and an enhanced version (mfc30.dll) on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    I don't know where to go or what you do with it - perhaps put it in the c:\windows\system32 folder, or XP can give you a clue in the message of the complainant.

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can find the files you need here:

    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called mfc30 in the when the filename should really be called mfc30.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You must really know us if that helps!
