Hi Lynn,

 

A Google search seems to suggest it might be malware:

http://www.spywaredata.com/spyware/malware/crfk.dll.php

 

If you don't believe you have any malware on your system, you may want

to download Autoruns and check to see if the file is in any of the

startup configurations of Windows:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

 

After you install it, first thing I do is click Options, Hide Microsoft

Entries and then press F5 to refresh the window. Then look for the

file. If you find it, uncheck it, close Autoruns and reboot to see if

the error goes away. If so, you can launch Autoruns again and

right-click on the disabled entry and select Delete.
