if it is bad why does the pc tell me it can't load it every time it starts up?

I don't know.. do you run scans and things regularly?

this is what I found about that dll

this is a very good spyware scanner

download, install, update and run

I would guess that your program found & removed the .dll file, but the malware would have put something else on that looks for & runs the .dll (and complains if it doesn't find it) and your program didn't get rid of that one, - now Spybot has fixed it.

I don't think you do unless you're going to make changes to it which hopefully you aren't, lol
