For me, its showing that "Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing. export function in a delay-load dependent module." Please check that once in your systems through Dependency Walker

That it pop's up everytime I switch pages.

ran snoopfree privacy shield (anti-keyboard logger utility) and found ieframe.dll was monitoring the keyboard - file capacity was non-standard, even while noted as MS I took the precaution of disabling the hook.

it is fairly straightforward what ieframe.dll is. It is an internet explore window object. Programmers use it to insert internet windows into their programs.

Recently, I've been seeing a window pop up, asking me permission to open/save some file from the internet...and ieframe.dll is asking me. It comes right after a similar request from trailfire.com (which I've never visited). These windows consistently come with a mysterious blank, invisible window that's either supposedly Internet Explorer (which is not my default browser, and is instigated by me on the internet), or regular Windows Explorer (when opening it up myself). Really curious and hesitant about it; denied it all the time, and it always ends up closing the mysterious IE window..

I had it show up when trying to print from IE 7 on a new Windows 7 Pro partition. The print dialog box won't exit unless you reboot. Firefox worked fine.

Every time I go on Amazon.com the box asking if I want to go from a trusted site (amazon.com)to ieframe.dll pops up repeatedly. I hit cancel three times to get rid of it. It continually pops us on this one site. Very annoying.

I had a problem with ai.realmedia.com calling for the ieframe.dll and when I put the ai.media.com in my hosts file, it started a continuous loop looking for eiframe.dll, so I put that in the hosts file too... no more prolems!!

It is used by a virus to steal info from you and to block you from the net. It is very bad and should be removed. Reinstall windows if you must - delete it.You can defrag and will find that the virus can't be moved because it is not a windows file. You can get a list of the virus files from the defrag screen.

I have this message: "res://ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff_webOC.htm" when ever I try to install a game. I also get "RAinstaller is undefined", and I found that I didn't even have that installed, installed it, no difference. It's only come about in the last week or so, but it won't let me do anything (it also blocks ther things) and I haven't been able to get rid of it using the advice from other forums. I don't know if it's "dangerous" as such but it's a flaming nuisance! If it's not needed, now I know where to find it I'll delete it and hope for the best. Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Sounds like it is used for data mining

All I know is that my computer got a virus, and when I try to open the Internet is says ieframe.dll then says Internet explored can't display the webpage. I'm not reall sure what to do. I can't connect to the Internet on it, so I can't really figure out how to fix it.
