A couple of months ago, I acquired some lovely malware. After removing this (lovely) malware I received a pop message, further improving my day. The message indicates that there was a problem starting (bogus) file tosendto.dll, because the file could not be found.
Searching the registry with the phrase "tosendto.dll" does not yield any results. This error seems to be significantly impacting my computer's performance, and I'm out of ideas to find the key invoking the file. Any and all help would be much appreciated.
Have you ran a scan with an anti-virus program like Anti-Malwarebytes, Super Anti-Spyware, Avast, etc? Malwarebytes is good at removing PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) and other files that you seem to be having trouble with. – DrZoo – 2015-10-27T04:30:45.377
There is an identical question (unfortunately no answer) at http://superuser.com/questions/982168/. I agree with the consensus that something remains of the malware. More detail would definitely help. What did you use to remove the malware? And when exactly does the message about tosendto.dll pop up (at startup, or when you do a particular action)?
