'DestroyWindow' is not a Spyware problem - although the name does have that nice and nasty ring to it. There's talk about it in various coding forums, so don't let the name freak you out.
MS has a pretty good writeup of possible fixes for User32.dll problems. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142676 I'd try to resolve it in this order (namely if the first step doesn't fix it, try the next, etc and post your results): 1. Method 1: Use Windows Update to obtain any fixes that are related to User32.dll - but if you don't have automatic updates turned on, I wouldn't turn them on just because the webpage says to do that. 2. Determine what programs are using User32.dll - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142676# 3. Use Recovery Console to restore the User32.dll file - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142676# 4. Use the System File Checker tool to repair User32.dll - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142676# If none of those work, post back and we can try some other things. The things I wouldn't do are: o Use System Restore, Reformat/Reinstall or Reinstall XP.

Well, Apparently, when I uninstalled it, it removed everything, but the registry key. I ignored the error message for some time, until tonight. I went on to the Net, and found clear instructions on how to remove it. I followed the instructions implicitly, including backing up the registry file, when it instructed to do so. After I saved the new registry file, I rebooted. But, Now, When I try to open many(not all at once) of my programs, I get the error message 'DestroyWindow could not be located in dynamic link library user32.dll.'. I didn't find a clear answer on the Net. Any help is greatly appreciated.
