Got "Unable to Locate Component" error upon boot -- HELP!

Okay, I'm guessing my antivirus/trojan stuff eliminated something that was trying to start up every time I logged on to Windows.

The error is as follows: 00363177.exe - Unable to Locate Component -- This application was unable to start because EGNSEngine.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this.

Can someone help me get this to go away? I'm guessing somewhere in the registry editor or startup there is this program that's trying to run this...can anyone help me locate and eliminiate it? I really can't afford to format and re-install at this point. Thanks very much!

Here you can download egnsengine.dll. The file is compressed so you need an unzip software in order to use the file. We recommend you to use ExpressZIP.
Use the link below to start downloading egnsengine.dll.

I figured as much, but how do I remove it from my registry so that I don't receive that warning every time I log on to Windows?

Thanks again.

Search for 00363177.exe and egnsengine.dll in the registry and delete all entries.

How do I do this? Work with me here, I have very little experience with reg edit.

Thank you very much -- I've been wanting to learn how to use reg edit a bit though so your advice will be much appreciated.

David: Already used Ad Aware and got rid of a buncha stuff (I'm guessing this is why this unable to find stuff is coming up)

EDIT: Okay, I went and deleted the one entry that contained it and it still gives me the same warning...any ideas?

Hmm, maybe try checking the startup folder in your start menu?
