Can't Find Gzmrotate.dll

Posted in response to avasts problem (posted in http://tekbytes.i.ph):

Disclaimer: Since I haven't personally encountered this problem myself. I cannot guarantee if the solution below will work. Sources of the following information are duly named.

Description of Gzmrotate.dll

From: File.net

Gzmrotate.dll is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. The file size on Windows XP is 61440 bytes.
This .dll file is a Browser Helper Object (BHO) that runs automatically every time you start your Internet browser. BHOs are not stopped by personal firewalls, because they are identified by the firewall as your browser itself. BHOs are often used by adware and spyware. The unique ID of this BHO is 6FA3DF44-D34D-4538-9B82-136D43126F30. There is no description of the program. The program has no visible window. The file is an unknown file in the Windows folder. It is able to monitor Internet browser. The service has no detailed description. Program starts when Windows starts (see Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run). It is not a Windows core file. gzmrotate.dll seems to be a compressed file. Therefore the technical security rating is 99% dangerous.

Important: Some malware camouflage themselves as gzmrotate.dll, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the gzmrotate.dll process on your pc whether it is pest. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. It is one of the Top Download Picks of 2005 of The Washington Post and PC World.


From Tech Support Forum

This is a BHO that probably has been deleted by anti-spyware. I'd like you to go to majorgeeks.com (exact link in a moment), download BHO-demon 2.x from there, install and run it; and disable the BHO from there.

The link I promised: BHODemon 2.0.0.23

Then reboot!

I hope this helps
