Error loading

c:\windows\system32\onmsnsmp.dll

I have no idea if I need to reload this or ignore this or how to make it stop coming up when I start my computer.

thanks for the help!

The above Google Groups search showed no mention of that file, other than your thread. That suggests that some malware was removed, but the reference to the file was not removed from the registry.

Click Start, Run, type REGEDIT, click OK. Press the Home key, press F3, type the name of the file into the search pane. Click "Find Next", and when located, delete the reference to the file. Press F3 to continue the search.

You can click File, Export, and save the entry to the Desktop. If you remove it and there's a problem, double-click the .reg file you exported to the Desktop and it'll be added to the registry again. You can create a restore point before editing the registry too.
