Everytime I boot my computer , I get a message: "Error loading C:\Windows\system32\gzmrotate.dll. The specified module could not be found". How do i fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

There's still reference to something, in a startup location, that no longer exists 
or has been removed/uninstalled, so you get an error message. 

What you need to do is delete all references to this DLL file: gzmrotate.dll in the 
registry. Are you familiar with searching and editing the registry?

Thanks for the response but I don't know how to edit the registry. I was able to access it by running regedit but i don't know which files should be deleted.

Don't change the registry if you aren't sure. It can be disastrous.

Try this:

Click Start, then Run.
Type MSCONFIG into the box and press Enter.
Click on the Startup tab.
Look though the list of programs until you find the offending program. Its name might 
be in the first or second column.
Untick the box to the left of it.
Click OK.
You will have to reboot, and the problem should go away.

If you can't find the name in the list, you could try getting a Registry Cleaner 
and run it.

Nevermind that Liza. What I found by doing a bit of research is that DLL file is 
related to an adware program. You have a malware infection. 

See this thread for an example of what it may take to clean it. Quite extensive but 
each case is different...

You should register on a malware support forum, then follow some preliminary cleaning 
instructions before you post. Do not disable anything in MSCONFIG, as they'll need 
to see what's on your system, if they request a Hijack This log. 

I suggest Spybot's forums, as they don't appear to be as swamped as others, so there 
shouldn't be such a long wait. Follow through and good luck. They'll help get you 
fixed up.
