A Google search against mopcps.dll produced no exact matches. Unknown file names can be an indication of a malware infection.You are using McAfee software. Consequently, it is possible that McAfee has found and deleted infected files (including mopcps.dll), but has not cleaned the registry entries. If so, your computer registry may try to load processes that have been deleted. Consequently, it is important to take additional action to identify and resolve the problem.The first step is to perform a full scan, using your existing security software - McAfee.A second step is to download and install the free version of Malwarebytes from www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php. Open Malwarebytes, click on the Updates tab and check for updates. Then, perform a full scan. When the scan has completed, it will do no harm to reboot into safe mode and perform a second scan (because some infections have the ability to hide, following a normal boot into Windows).Then, download and install the free version of SuperAntiSpyware from www.superantispyware.com. Check for updates - and perform a complete scan of all fixed drives on your computer.I also recommend that you scan your computer, using the free ESET on-line scanner at www.eset.com/online-scanner.I don't intend to comment upon the efficiency or performance of any particular security program, other than to say that no program is 100% effective. Some utilities have a proven ability to find and clean infections that Norton, McAfee et al have missed. Used in conjunction, Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware have an excellent reputation - which is why I have recommended multiple scans.However, please post back for further guidance - if an infection prevents you from downloading and/or running any of these programs.
