Malware or not? .dll error

So just a few days ago my ESET picked up a file in my appdata named gclgaf40.dll to be a trojan, it automatically deleted it

The thing is, every now and then an error saying "unable to start gclgaf40.dll because file is not found" appears, googling suggests that it might be registry error but I searched "gclgaf40.dll" in regedit and no result was found

Any suggestions on how I could remove this error?

Thanks for your reply, autoruns is indeed a great tool, however I did not find anything anything related to gclgaf40.dll on the list, nor anything from its original directory

It took me quite a while to locate the file in my registry, the numbers were not the same, it was {09293DF5-1614-485A-93F7-EC88B8AE96A1} for me, so far so good, i'll report back later if there is any problem
