Reply: (edit)I think that you have gotten rid of it infact.
\owner\local settings\application data\wdokbye.dll the specified module could not be found would indicate that the trojan .dll file is gone. What you need now is to delete the orphaned registry entry for it. A very good and free tool for this is Ccleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/ -run the 'issues' tab to clean the registry and get rid of the '...cannot be found' message as well :-)
Another app you could use for trojans is TrojanHunter http://www.misec.net/ -probably the best there is and 60 day trial. -happy to help if I can :-
