Experiencing multiple popups that say "The application or DLL C;\windows\system32\tl20hafi.dll is not a valid Windows image"
Upon booting computer, the message : The application or DLL C:\windows\system 32\tl20hafi.dll is not a valid Windows image. This pops up basically everytime I try to initiate a different program. Wondering if there is a simple way to fix? Microsoft Security is in place and has performed scans which do not indicated any virus.
