my Inspiron 9300 dell has stoppedworking because of this virus the msls51.dll has stopped me from seeing any thing on my desktop allso i can not rum any checks i dont know what to do .
I ran ComboFix and it deleted this .dll, now I get error messages for many .exe files saying msls51.dll was not found. I have no taskbar or start menu, I can get the task manager up and can therefore run some programs but I have no idea how to get my computer working normally again. I tried system restore which didn’t work unsurprisingly, I ran MalwareBytes but since it wasn’t the program that removed the .dll it’s not much help. I don’t know how to get this file back because I do not have the ComboFix log file, and am going to attempt to download the .dll from somewhere onto a usb key as a last resort before reinstall of XP. Sigh.
Best thing to do is a clean install.
I had this yesterday and to be honest by the time you have run through all the things like Housecall, hijackthis, etc etc you could have formated your HD and reinstalled in less time.
I had this issue with msls51.dll over the weekend.
AVG found a Trojan and after removal i had the following issue upon restart -
“lsass.exe - Unable to run Component
The application has failed to start because msls51.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem”
My laptop would boot but would not load user profiles, explorer or desktop.
After much googling and reading the above posts i had almost resigned myself to a clean install of xp. I then found another post on a different tech forum which suggested that the problematic msls51.dll is contained within uxtheme.dll
I ran firefox from command prompt and downloaded a new ‘clean’ version of uxtheme.dll and saved this to C/windows/system32 folder. After a reboot my system now works 100% fine.
I hope this info can help anyone in future
