What does it mean when it says "a required .DLL file, ECOMWR.DLL was not found when i start my computer?

Question

This occurs everytime I start my computer. I then click on the OK icon and the computer works.

Answer 1

Here's the information I found on a Google lookup:

"The ecomwr.dll library is required for McAfee virusscan to operate correctly, and so should not be removed. If ecomwr.dll is unavailable, you run the risk of your computer being infected by viruses and trojans.

ecomwr.dll is an application that does NOT appear to be a security risk

The Spy Bot database currently registers ecomwr.dll to Network Associates.

This is part of McAfee Virusscan."

You can download it from the 2nd URL listed below.

Answer 2

Some program that you have (or had) that started when you logged in uses (or used) that file. Try running CCleaner and scan for issues...it will probably get rid of that error.
