Definitely don't download that spamware fixer program -- who knows
what that does?  You want the grey "Download zip-file" link, not the
not the flashy "Download fixer" ad links.  Anyway, it sounds like
you've found another copy of the DLL.

If I were you, I would uninstall that fixer ASAP and then run an
anti-malware and anti-virus tool or two, just in case.

I don't believe it is provided by Microsoft, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Weird.  Try registering the existing dll, try replacing it with the
other one (be sure to back up the original first), etc.
