Googling for "uninsManager.dll" brings me nothing. Those results and the
fact that the file is in your user's temporary files tells me it is
probably malware.

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).

What a difference accuracy makes. "uninstmanager.dll" is part of Adobe
Acrobat Reader. Later versions of Acrobat Reader have the unpleasant habit
of putting a "speed launch" in Startup. If you uninstalled Acrobat Reader,
the Startup reference is still there. Go to the Start Menu and look in the
Startup folder. If you see anything from Adobe there, delete it. If nothing
is in the Startup folder, use the System Configuration Utility to find the
Adobe reference and uncheck it.

Start>Run>msconfig [enter]

This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and
find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK
out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll
get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in
effect, "don't bother me about this again".
