Default AppData\local\temp\yayxuogd.dll

I keep getting an error message (RunDLL) was stating that the modul was not
found. The error message appears every time I log-on to my computer.
The dll-file should have been in the C-drive and I have attempted to correct
this without success. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of
error message?

With a name like that, it would appear your PC may be infected with
malaware.

Most file names at least try to have some semblance of a meaning as related
to what they do. The file name you quote seems to be computer generated and
looks like gibberish. This is usually an indication of malware (one of the
type that change the file name periodically and upon each reboot). The name
is changed to try to avoid detection.

The end result is that something on your computer is looking for a file that
no longer exists. Did you recently have a malware infection that you think
you have cleaned out? It appears you were not entirely successful.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
