problem with shell32.dll

I'm not much of a computer nut here and don't want to mess around my
system stuff or i'll end up recovering my whole computer.
When i start up my comp and login i get this prompt, "The procedure
entry point SHFlushClipboard could not be located in the dynamic library
SHELL32.dll."
I hit ok and my taskbar and icons go blank. After that some programs
run slower, downloading is a little slow, and gameplay is somewhat
laggy. I've never had a problem until that prompt and i'm not to sure
what brought it up.
Corrupt dll file? Do i need to replace it?

I recommend downloading and installing
MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) and
SUPERAntiSpywa??e (SAS).

Do a full scan with Malwa??eBytes' and
SUPERAntiSpywa??e.

<http://www.superantispyware.com/>
After the software (SAS) is updated, it is suggested scanning the system in
Safe Mode.

Reboot

Both free versions of MBAM and SAS are on-demand scanners and offer no
'real-time' protection. Keep them installed and use them as
'second-opinion' scanner which is purposely (by design) recommended by
their respective autho??s.

I knew there was a piece of that question that I forgot to get to...

After scanning with SAS and MBAM

Type "cmd" into the Search box above the Start Button>and when cmd comes up
at the top of the Start menu>right click cmd and click "run as Admin" and
when the cmd prompt comes up at the cmd prompt type "sfc /scannow" no quotes
and let it run.

This may fix things quite a bit.

It replaces corrupt files with intact ones, if you're not familiar with it.
