How do I fix the error I am receiving whenever I start my computer?

Question

Whenever I start my computer, I always get an error loading M3PLUGIN.DLL because it appears that the module is missing. How do I fix this one? Do I have to install or re-install a certain program in my computer? If yes, what it is? My computer is running on Windows XP Professional.

Answer 1

If you do a web search, you would note that some versions of the M3PLUGIN.DLL file are associated with malware - virus or adware or something.  It is originally part of something called MySearch.

Yes, you would probably have to re-install something to get it back.  But the question is, why did it go away?  If you ran an anti-virus scan and it vanished, I wouldn't want it back.  If you have one of these registry cleaner programs, you could run that and have it find all of the registry entries pointing to things that don't exist any more.  The cleaners usually will get rid of such references for you.

clean your system. you may not want the application associated with this dll back.

download ccleaner from here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_cclean... and install..

after installation, run ccleaner. in the cleaner tab, click on analyze. after the process, click on run cleaner. this will delete unwanted files from your pc. click on analyze again and run the cleaner until 0 files are found during the analysis.

now click on the registry tab. click on scan for issues. after scanning click on fix selected issues. repeat this process until no more issues are found..

good luck!
