Stop right there. What did you install on your PC round about that time?
Hardware? Software? Security-related stuff like AV or firewall or
antispyware? Logitech Webcam?

No, delay load is actually a bit different. It makes loading the DLL
optional, it's only pulled in at runtime if it's actually needed (when/if the
program tries to call it).

Yeh, that's a false positive of some sort. It's a DLL that exists only on
Vista, it's pulled in indirectly via the chain dwmapi.dll <- ieframe.dll <-
mshtml.dll <- shdocvw.dll <-shell32.dll <- setupapi.dll <- mprapi.dll <-
iphlpapi.dll <- dnsapi.dll <- netapi32.dll <- winsta.dll <- user32.dll <-
wintrust.dll <- advapi32.dll <- cygwin1.dll. (boggle! Note that the wintrust
<- advapi link is also delay-load, so probably none of this gets invoked
normally.)
cheers,
