    Try copying the file to your Desktop and then deleting it from it's present position.

    If something doesn't work after doing so, you can always replace the file or find a suitable replacement.


    This message appears on anything I click on. When PC is switched on before I am able to type password, message appears. Not quite sure what you are meaning:confused:

    Was there no information in the file properties?
    You still got the message even with all startup programs disabled?

    Here's a thought: could that DLL be part of an infection?
