The file; C:\WINDOWS\system 32\ljjjgff.dll
is a DLL, not an EXE, it is NOT loaded via the Registry Run locations.

This DLL file is protected by the OS via a BHO and via the DLL being loaded winlogin/notify

Thanx for trying but...
you missed the mark

Is it anywhere in the registry, perhaps with "Rundll32.exe " before it? If so, try this from Safe Mode. Afterwards, restart in Safe Mode again. The file shouldn't be running, and can be deleted:

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.

If ljjjgff.dll follows "explorer.exe ", (but I don't think it can), edit out " ljjjgff.dll". If you find any references to it in the registry, but aren't sure they can be safely removed, post what you find.

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.

You could click Start, Run, type MSCONFIG, click OK, click the StartUp tab, and deselect the item(s). When you restart the computer, you will be warned that you're running in the Diagnostic mode; click to not alert you again, and OK out. You won't see the message again. But I think it's best to just remove the references from the registry.
