Missing CRFK.DLL Module

Running Windows XP and and when I boot up my system I gat a error message
stating that "The specified module could not be found".

Hi Lynn,

A Google search seems to suggest it might be malware:
http://www.spywaredata.com/spyware/malware/crfk.dll.php

If you don't believe you have any malware on your system, you may want
to download Autoruns and check to see if the file is in any of the
startup configurations of Windows:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx

After you install it, first thing I do is click Options, Hide Microsoft
Entries and then press F5 to refresh the window. Then look for the
file. If you find it, uncheck it, close Autoruns and reboot to see if
the error goes away. If so, you can launch Autoruns again and
right-click on the disabled entry and select Delete.
