Do you use WinAmp by any chance? Or Firefox?

some references to it on Google as being a splash screen process (the
banner that comes up when you open a program)

that would explain it as the portable versions would put it in a temp

Files in your Temp folder are not needed, Kat.
Assuming Windows XP, boot into Safe Mode;

From a Run Box, type "%temp%" (no quotes) --> delete the /entire/
contents of the file. CTRL + A + D, if you like keyboard shortcuts.
Post back *if* the DLL reappears.
