It appears to be part of malware.

Go to Start > Run > msconfig
startup tab and uncheck any mention to image.dll

Download the utility CWshredder:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

Unzip - close *all* instances of IE & OE, hit the executable and
follow
the prompts.

Good luck
