Default What is this???

I think I inadvertantly deleted some files that I still need. Whenever I log
off or shutdown, I get the following 2 messages in popup windows-

uwdmtpus.exe - DLL INITIALIZATION FAILURE
pluund3d.exe - DLL INITIALIZATION FAILURE

Doese ANYONE know which programs these files are associated with so I can
fix my computer. I have noticed no other problems except the popups messages
at sign off.
Thanks for your help.
Mike

A Google search for both files turns up nothing. This is usually a good
indication that the files are part of some malware.

Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Do the same for whatever anti-spyware applications that you have.
