I'm keeping this file, even though it keeps coming up in an Explorer popup, "Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working". It is used by one of my recently-downloaded programs, YTDownloader, but it was last modified in December ( before this download ), so it's not a new DLL downloaded along with this new program.

SysMenu.dll comes with software from a company called Goobzo, and is often bundled with free downloads. One of the Goobzo products is infact adware, based on this quote from the Goobzo End User License Agreement:

"The use of the Software may cause additional ads to appear when browsing certain websites. These may include, price comparison ads, coupons, pop-unders/ups, banner, inline text or transitional ads."

Some of the anti-virus programs are detecting SysMenu.dll:

The SysMenu.dll that I have on my computer must be benign, since I don't get any ads popping up at all - just the Windows popup I mentioned above. It's annoying, but doesn't actually cause any problems - I just delete it.

I have a problem with this so called SysMenu.dll always 3 windows that pops open and tell me it's missing, I did the freefixer scan and it says if the Sysmenu.dll file is there remove it and I look and it's not there so now what, if it's not there then I shouldn't have that message pop up, or does that mean that I do need it and try to find a way the re-install it back in the system, or what do I do, please tell me.

@Chantalle: No, I don't think you should reinstall it since the file is detected by some the anti-virus programs.

It appears that SysMenu.dll was hooked up in a location that FreeFixer does not scan, my guess is that it can be found somewhere in the Windows registry.

It's really helpful to remove all those sysmenu.dll stuff, I have not experience any errors about sysmenu.dll after the removal of the related errors. This is the only best working tool that I will ever find. Good job.

When this popup happens on my desktop, the CPU usage goes to 100%. However, the computer moves remarkably fast when it should freeze up the computer.Also, Windows has not updated in a month. We have installed the stand alone Windows Installer. Still no updates. It's unclear whether this dll file is causing the computer to update or not.

I am running Windows7 on my desktop computer. (not this one) I frequently have two pop up windows indicated an error that SysMenu.dll cannot be found. ?? should I find this file and install it ?? or can I do something to prevent the notice that it can't be found???

@Jud: Many of the anti-virus programs are now detecting the SysMenu.dll file. See list below. So, don't try to reinstall it. Currently I don't know where SysMenu.dll is hooked into your computer, but I think I have a backup of this adware in snapshot on my lab machine. I'll see if I can find it again and figure out why the pop-up occurs and how to remove it.

@Jud: I check my lab machine, but unfortunately it seems that I've removed the Goobzo SysMenu.dll software. So I cannot research it further to find out how sysmenu.dll is loaded. Sorry about that.
