RegMech and TurboTax ItsDeductible 2006

On booting up my computer today, it automatically tried to install a program, which said that it was "TurboTax ItsDeductible 2006". I already had "TurboTax ItsDeductible 2006" installed (or I may have unistalled it a month ago - I don't remember). I kept hitting canceled, but it kept trying to install the program. I finally used Window Task Manager to stop the installation.

It also placed a short cut "Registry Mechanic" on my desk top. I've had "Registry Mechanic" on my computer at least within the last two years, but never used it and may have uninstalled it.

I removed "TurboTax ItsDeductible 2006" and "Registry Mechanic" from my computer.

Do either of "TurboTax ItsDeductible 2006" or "Registry Mechanic" bring up known viruses? My concern is that virus programs used the names of these two programs rather than being the actual programs themselves. My concern is the automatic nature of something causing the attempted installation of "TurboTax ItsDeductible 2006" and the placing of the short cut "Registry Mechanic" on my desktop.

 

Further, when I tried to run SpywareBlaster, I received the following error:

***********************************
Cannot find import; DDL may be missing, corrupt, or wrong version
File "MSVBVM60.DLL", error 126
***********************************

I reinstalled SpywareBlaster and the same error came up when I tried to run the reinstalled version.

In my folder C:\WINDOWS\system32, I see "msvbvm50.dll" but not "MSVBVM60.DLL". Apparently, MSVBRun60.exe installs Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 run-time files

The program does not run, and reports that a file
named "msvbvm60.dll" is missing.Please download the following
MS run-time installer which will install the missing file and
allow you to use SpywareBlaster without any problems:

Will that fix the file "MSVBVM60.DLL", error 126?
