Goopdate_unsigned.dll - Regsvr32 Error

[tracytalk29]

I recently started to receive the following error when I boot up my laptop:

Regsvr32 error that points me to the goopdate_unsigned.dll file.

I recently installed Spybot on my laptop, and searched and found the file and ran a scan on the file. It reported as "clean".


Can someone tell me if this is a virus that has infected my computer? How do I fix this error message?

Thanks.

Hello tracytalk29,

I recently started to receive the following error when I boot up my laptop:

Regsvr32 error that points me to the goopdate_unsigned.dll file.

I recently installed Spybot on my laptop, and searched and found the file and ran a scan on the file. It reported as "clean".

Thanks.

Unsigned files aren't necessarily malware, goopdate appears to be the Google updater.

If in doubt one can upload the file to https://www.virustotal.com/ and/or http://virusscan.jotti.org/en

Had you stopped the Google updater service before the issue occurred?

Best regards
