winmfl32.rom

Every time I boot up I get this error:

There was a problem starting winmfl32.rom
The specified module could not be found.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a AV installed, If yes run a full scan.

D. Run Microsoft Security Essentials. Quick Scan - ~8 min on my laptop.
E. Run Microsoft Security Essentials. Full Scan - ~ 1hr 50 min on my laptop.
Now I advise you to uninstall MalwareBytes and only install again when and if you need it.
Why?, you ask. Leaving MalwareBytes installed slowed my system. AutoRuns showed MalwareBytes processes running even after exiting from MalwareBytes.

Hi, balesne. Welcome to Seven Forums.

Capt.Jack Sparrow is correct that this appears to be a sign of malware, and from checking other aliases, may likely be a Virtumundo infection. This is most often a result from outdated, vulnerable Java software installed on the computer.

Please do the following:

Go to add/remove programs and uninstall any item listing J2SE or Java Runtime Environment in the name other than the most recent update, which is Java SE JRE 6u21, IF old versions are found, please download JavaRa and unzip it to your desktop.

• Double-click on JavaRa.exe to start the program. (Windows Vista users Right-click JavaRa.exe > Select Run as Administrator)
• Click on Remove Older Versions to remove older versions of Java.
• A logfile will pop up. Please save it to a convenient location.

Then download and install Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 21.

Download Link: Java SE Runtime Environment 6u21

Note: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software options presented with the update. They are not part of the software update and are completely optional.

Next, please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

• Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
• At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• Once the program has loaded, be sure Quick scan is selected, then click Scan.
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• Be sure that everything is checked, EXCEPT items in System Restore as shown in this sample:
  
• Click Remove Selected.
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be found here on Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt and C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
• Please post contents of that file in your next reply.
