Viruses transmitted through Windows updates
My computer was free of viruses before I installed new updates (security updates, updates for MS Office and IE, etc., just the usual stuff). I know this because I have resident virus protection software which performs daily scans as well as weekly manual scans. After installing the updates and rebooting, I now have viruses. My virus software found five worms and trojans during a scan performed immediately after the software update and reboot. The virus software removed the offenders, but I'm still getting a pop-up message saying "Error loading C:\Windows\dspltmas.dll. The specified module could not be found. How do I get rid of this error message? Is the virus still hanging around? The other four worms and trojans which installed themselves along with the updates appear to be all cleaned up.1 person needs an answerI do too

Windows updates will scan with differents Anti-Virus and carefully test and exam before release. I could assure that that update did NOT infected your PC. There is possible that if Windows is NOT Genuine then cracker send you Virus.Another thing is that your Anti-Virus might detect them wrongly as Virus, its called false positive , which mean something that is not virus detect as virus. I think your Anti-Virus done mistake and accidently detect and remove them.Contact your Anti-Virus support and discuss issue with them.If problem not resolved then contact Windows update support:http://support.microsoft.com/ph/6527#tab3
