    Uninstall the MyWebSearch Toolbar (guess).
    Go to that location, and delete that .dll.

    That is a file of MyWebSearch Toolbar and Smiley Central.

    Its Malware/Adware.

    Go there and delete it, uninstall anyrhing relating to MyWebsearch.
    Also, browse registry and dlete any files relating to MyWebsearch.
