"There was a problem with startupscan.dll."

It may or may not be caused by microTorrent.
Whenever I'm downloading something overnight I close my laptop lid instead of putting it to sleep.

When I open it again, there's this error message (I may not have the wording correct):
"There was a problem with startupscan.dll"
"Startupscan.dll is not a valid win32 application"

This window disappears as soon as I touch the trackpad or click a button. Googling hasn't brought up anything relevant and i can't find it in Event Viewer so far, so I have no idea what is causing it.

Anyone got a copy of this file (Win 8.1 - 64 bit) - I also have this issue and don''t want to have to rebuild just to get rid of it.
