Hi I keep getting this message:

The application or DLL globalroot\systemroot\system32\hjgruidndyxsoy.dll is
not a valid Windows image. Please check against your installation diskette.

I've run a search for globalroot and hjgruidndzsoy.dll and found nothing. I
went searching through %systemroot% and system32 and couldnt find
hjgruidyxsoy.dll

Is there any way to get rid of it?

Your computer is infected with malware,

Your computer was infected with malware and your anti-malware software
did not completely remove it.

I did have 1 or 2 viruses and used webroot antivirus with antispyware to get
rid of them. Should I buy another program or is there a way to fix this
myself?

Your Anti-virus may be removed the viral infection but still in the Root
system and on the Registry. Please perform the cleaning steps to make sure
nothing lurking in the background trying to revive the infestation back to
action!.

Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of
many forums for analysis and troubleshooting or you can send it to me on my
email provided at the bottom:
When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2

Can you please send me a copy at (e-mail address removed) ,
remove the obvious to email me, note ( _ it is underscore not - ).

Errors fixed.
I decided to use windows live one care as a support to my anti spyware so
instead of using the free download I got the 90 day free subscription. It did
a scan, told me 3 new items which needed to be fixed, erased an old file
holding quarantined items and rebooted. When it rebooted the errors that
usually pop up were gone.

I don't know if I'm still infected but I'm not affected which makes me
happier.

Thank you for all your help Nass, I couldn't have done this without you.
