Default Help With an Error Message

Hi, I preformed a virus scan of all my files, like I do
every couple of weeks, and after I cleaned and deleted
some of the infected files I restarted the computer and
get this error message.

RUNDLL
Error Loading C:\WINDOWS\IMAGE.DLL
The system cannot find the file specified.

I can't figure out what it is, I don't see any performance
problems with the computer, but I want to make sure I
didn't delete something important.

Thanks Kevin

Thanks for the reply,
I did as you said and I am not getting the same message
but now I am getting this

Rundll32 has caused an error in IMAGE.DLL
Rundll32 will now close
If you continue to experience problems, try restarting
your computer.

This comes up when I restart or open Internet Explorer.
I do not know how to proceed from here. Any advice would
be great.

Thanks again, Kevin
