wdengine.dll error

    A couple of weeks ago a trojan by the name of dropper.funweb.a. was found on my computer. I did a scan with AVG and it said it removed it. It seems ever since then, my comuter hasn't been right.

    I have run Ad Aware and it remove everything it found which was just cookies. Then I ran Spybot S&D it ran like normal until it tried to remove the spyware. It came up with a "wdengine.dll" not found error and I had to shut it down. Needless to say, the wild tangent and a couple of other things are still in there. I have also run CWShredder.

    The computer drive seems to be almost constantly working and takes FOREVER to finish loading at startup. Also my message rules in my e-mail program was reset and I lost all of my restore points in system restore.

    Are all these problems related to the trojan or are they a separate issue?

    I am running WinXP

    Thanks

    First try using Add/Remove Programs to uninstall all Wild Tangent stuff.

    Then configure SpyBot to "Run Once at next System Start" You do that from Advanced Mode under Settings, Automation, System Start. Then Reboot. See what happens now when SpyBot runs at startup.

    Thank you so much! I did as instructed and Spybot S&D went through fine.
