Dll file missing

Sorting out a mates computer that is riddled with viruses.
Managed to clear all the problems.. But missing a dll file.

I've had a search but can't find it.. any ideas where I can get it?

rpxwjigk.dll
I would have used my own initiative if someone would have told me to!

    Suspect there's still something unpleasant on the computer. rpxwjigk.dll looks a rather suspect file name and as you have discoverd there's nothing on google which makes me think it's probably related to something dodgy.
  • I've no idea which program is wanting it.

    The error appears on bootup..

    Error loading C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\rpxwjigk.dll

    Problem is if its that riddled it could do a lot of messing about and missing files. I would start again myself backup any important data and having a good format. I appreciate it aint easy on a mates pc, I use to do this a lot fixing peoples pc's never again too much time consuming and little thanks

    If you google C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp you'll find others have had similar experience.

    Here's one such thread showing various C:\Users\.......\Temp\????????.dll

    Would agree with savemoney's initial advice and first download, update and run malwarebytes
