When I turn on my computer I get the following message:
"error loading C:\windows\system32\mdypijlp.dll
the specified module cannot be found"
a search of dll files on the net does not find this file
what is this?

There is a very strong probability that the file is malware. If you have
recently cleaned up your computer, the malware removal tools left a
reference in Startup. If you haven't recently cleaned up your computer, you
need to do so.

It's possible some malware was deleted by your a/v software, but the
reference to the file was not removed from the registry.

Click Start, Run, type REGEDIT, click OK. Press the Home key, press F3,
type the name of the file into the search pane. Click "Find Next", and
when located, delete the reference to the file. Press F3 to continue
the search.

You can click File, Export, and save the entry to the Desktop. If you
remove it and there's a problem, double-click the .reg file you exported
to the Desktop and it'll be added to the registry again. You can create
a restore point before editing the registry too.

You could click Start, Run, type MSCONFIG, click OK, click the StartUp
tab, and deselect the item(s). When you restart the computer, you will
be warned that you're running in the Diagnostic mode; click to not alert
you again, and OK out. You won't see the message again. But I think
it's best to just remove the references from the registry.
