Is this a virus after POST

Asked By toddlw 20 points N/A Posted on - 11/08/2012

I use Advanced system care as my antivirus and utility program such as cleaning junk files, Disk scan (to correct disk errors), registry cleaner etc.

After I run the disk scan and reboot, after POST I receive a Popup with this message "Setting Personal Settings" and this " RunDLL32IEDKc532DLL.BrandIE4". I could not find anything on Google about this.

Does any one know if this is a virus?

The only symptom that I am getting is auto complete does not work.

Is this a virus after POST

Advanced System Care is known to bring viruses or other malware attached to the software.

It isn't an uncommon problem for many, but it is a nasty one to repair. Your best luck would be to either do a clean installation of your OS or try to download another antivirus system.

A few examples of some good ones would be AVG and Malwarebytes.

Both are used by many PC repair techs and have been known to keep systems completely clean.
