a little help someone?

i installed windows 7 ultimate x64 and all was fine for a while. until one day a message started coming up every time my pc starts up that says "There was a problem starting winuhm32.rom. the specified module could not be found." wtf does that mean?

also my explorer.exe crashes randomly(usually when i copy or move a file). and i cant autoplay anything for some reason. can someone please tell how to fix these problems? if its useful i have the latest AVG and regularly scan my registry with Regcure.

P.S. i put the pic of the error message i get @ start up

I have only been able too find references to the winuhm32.rom as viral. I also have my suspicions because *.rom means read only memory as in an eprom. One doesn't "start" an eprom.

I may be wrong but I would run a scan with your current and even download malwarebytes and run in safemode

A virus would also explain your explorer problem

I agree with zigzag3143, sounds like you are infected with a nasty. A lot of them come with more than one part. You remove one part and the other module just downloads the first part again. Sounds like you anti-virus got part of it but not all of it. The missing part is throwing up an error

i ran my pc in safe mode and no errors, so its most likely a virus. my av isnt finding it, so what would u recommend to find it? someone mentioned malwarebytes as an option, would that maybe find it?

Try a registry cleanup with CCleaner. Looks like a leftover.

well i ran malware bytes in safe mode and that fixed the winuhm.rom error, but my explorer is still crashing. im running ccleaner now and get back 2 u.
