That likely from a malware or trojan. Be thankful it's not loading any more. You can get rid of it by doing Start > Run > type regedit and press enter. In regedit, click Edit > Find, and in the Find window, type the name mkscbnan.dl in the field and press "find next". It will search for where this entry is and give you an option to blow away the registry key that used to point to it. It'll like appear in HKey_Currect_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run or HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run It is safe to delete the entry. - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest Gerry Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Re: RUNDLL error question Did the error start of a malware attack? A google search on mkscbnan.dll gives no results, which suggests that part of an infestation was not removed. You can remove orphan entries using Autoruns. A safer way than msconfig to disable / remove unwanted start up items is to use Autoruns. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx With Autoruns you can uncheck an item, which disables it from starting, or you can can right click an item and then delete it. If you uncheck you can recheck to re-enable the item. It is a much safer approach than editing the Registry. Another useful feature of the programme is that you can right click an item and select Search Online to get information about the item selected. -- Hope this helps.

It's possible some malware was deleted by your a/v software, but the reference to the file was not removed from the registry. Click Start, Run, type REGEDIT, click OK. Press the Home key, press F3, type the name of the file into the search pane. Click "Find Next", and when located, delete the reference to the file. Press F3 to continue the search. You can click File, Export, and save the entry to the Desktop. If you remove it and there's a problem, double-click the .reg file you exported to the Desktop and it'll be added to the registry again. You can create a restore point before editing the registry too. You could click Start, Run, type MSCONFIG, click OK, click the StartUp tab, and deselect the item(s). When you restart the computer, you will be warned that you're running in the Diagnostic mode; click to not alert you again, and OK out. You won't see the message again. But I think it's best to just remove the references from the registry. -- Joe =o)
