Since a Google search for "ppfark50.dll" brings up nothing, there is a
high probability that it is malware. Either you recently cleaned up your
machine and there is still a reference to the malware file in Startup or
you need to do some malware scanning.

Insure that the machine is virus/malware-free:

If the machine is clean, remove the reference to the file in Startup
with the System Configuration Utility.

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".

Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop
processes. Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter]
