What did you do to troubleshoot? The image.dll is from spyware. It
sounds like your pc is infested with malware. Here are normal removal
steps:

What does a scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not
earlier than 2003 using updated virus definitions) show? Also, remove
spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from www.safer-networking.org and
Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure to update these programs
before running them. These programs are free, so run them both since
they complement each other. It is best to run antivirus and spyware
removal tools in Safe Mode. You may also want to run CWShredder and
HijackThis from http://aumha.org/freeware.htm. Although CWShredder is
no longer being updated, it will still clean older variants of the
CoolWebSearch malware. A combination of HijackThis and About:Buster
(http://www.majorgeeks.com) works well in removing homepage hijackers.
Please read the instructions carefully. Make sure you are able to see
all hidden files and extensions (View tab in Folder Options). Also,
make sure you've visited Windows Update and applied all security
patches. Do not install driver updates from Windows Update. Make sure
you are running a firewall.

Shortcut in one of your Startup folders ? Type "Explorer" (no quotation
marks) in Search and see if one is listed in such. Should be able to safely
delete the shortcut.
