00036425.exe Unable to locate component error
Tab
component This application has failed to start because NUMISC.dll was not
found". This was after uninstalling Norton Internet Security 2006 and
installing the Norton Internet Security 2007. Norton tells me this is a
Windows problem. I have no idea what to do at this point. Any suggestions?
I am very computer illiterate and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Did Norton ever found a virus and Quarantine it or moved it to the Virus

This Execution extension name look fishy to me.
Come to the missing DLL, try to search for this File and see how many
there, you looks like didn't use the Norton removal tool to uninstall the Old
Version of Norton and the old file there and making trouble.
Search for it and right click the NUMISC.dll and select Properties, on
properties see the maker and the date, it will tell youthe maker and the date
of the file.
If you found more than one try to rename the older version (date) then
reboot your computer, does the error occur?.
Disable it from the Start up by opening a run command and type in:
msconfig click [OK] then on System Config window click on StartUp Tab and
uncheck the check box for either the process or the DLL.

You need to be sure your system is clean from malware and Viruses by
scanning for them
Scan for malware from here:

Hi Tab,
Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of
many
forums for analysis and troubleshooting:
When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. Post
your log to http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html,

forums for expert analysis, not here.

Don't you think there is a distinct possibility that this is an orphaned
entry in the Start-Up relating to a virus which has been partly removed?

Hi Gerry,
Your point to some extent could be right?, BUT I will not rely on Partly
and the OP confirm Did ask Him/Her to Delete/Remove. We all know sometimes
the Av will not be capable, either because its definitions is OLD (not
up2date) or the Vendor didn't build the Database for the new Viruses or the
Engine is OLD and incapable to Remove the Virus.
Unfortunately the OP did elaborate on this :
" What's weird is my daughter did the exact same thing and her computer is
problem at present or one in the past and this one now(I'm confused LOL).
I have in the past uninstall and the AV did move the Virus to the
Fault/Virus Chest, but the Virus still active and fooling the AV and causing
the AV some corruption (step-by-step until it Kill it = Useless), then when
you uninstall it will ask do you want "Do you want to remove the Virus or NO"
click Yes and there is no message of Virus removed?, do we know if it is
still there or NO? Hmmm.. Install the New AV (happy customer) and all the
carp come to the machine?.
Partially Removed with Virus it doesn't mean it is dead or Sick!, some
viruses will resurrect itself from a small File and build itself to a
complete new Virus and Rename itself to something else the Av will not detect.
Assuming the OP didn't use the Norton Removal Tool to completely the Old
version to prepare the system for the new one, here is another attempt:
Download and run the Norton Removal Tool
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
Run Disk CleanUp and Defrag in safe mode then try the New Av and see if the
error will go away, also I will scan for malware as Norton is Anti-Virus and
not Complete Anti-malware.
HTH.

My point being removing a StartUp item using Autoruns is relatively
simple. Your approach is very thorough but less easy to implement. The
Error Report suggests failure to tidy up after removal but I could be
wrong. Of course if the virus was picked if on a routine scan rather
than at the front door it could have been holding the door open inviting
all his friends to come and join him!

Nass and I often exhange views. He lives not so far away from where I
was born. I had got the drift of what he was staying. I just didn't
think any changes he had made, made any difference to the response I had
sent to his uncorrected message.

Gerry,
I will take this, I was coming from sun bathing as it is sunny day(in fact
the whole week was) and cannot even see the screen properly, still do LOL.
Nothing taken all welcome to correct, I never pay attention to grammar as My
thoughts always including more technical points which is matter rather than
grammatical points and I get tired from writing lengthy articles!.
After all I'm using the CDO.
nass
Oh Gerry, you put me OFF my dinner. Hopefully not, we hardly recovered from
2001 outbreak to get this!.
I do agree with you the CDO is awful and it doesn't encourage you to reread
your reply or revise it properly. In the past I resist Wes advice to use a
proper newsgroups reader for a reason?.
