I need help with this message that keeps popping up and driving me crazy!!
It says:
The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM 32\ipvi32.dll is not a
valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation
diskette.
I have tried to delete this file from my Windows System 32 and it won't stay
deleted.
I have run Norton Anti-Virus and it doesn't show up there. I subscribed to a
registry cleaner service and it couldn't get rid of it. I am studying to be
a medical
transcriptionist and find it very distracting as it pops up every few
seconds.
Anyone know what to do?

For viruses, start with Trend Micro’s Sysclean and McAfee’s Stinger.
Download them and the Sysclean signature file. Delete the temporary
internet files, turn off system restore, boot into safe mode and run
them. Boot back into normal mode and run a full AV scan with your
normal AV program. Then turn system restore back on.

Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing
update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update
and run them weekly.
