A Google search for "ddcDvtuv.dll" brought up nothing but your post. When
you don't get any hits for a file name on Google, chances are high that it
is a malware file.

Either you uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware
program did. In any case, a reference was left to the file in Startup. You
can remove the reference by managing your Startup. Because you had one
piece of malware, the chances are also high that you had others. It would
be a good idea to scan. I recommend downloading and installing
MalwareBytes' Antimalware (MBAM) from http://www.malwarebytes.org. The
program is free. (There is a paid version but you don't need to buy it to
remove malware.)

Start Orb>Search box>type: msconfig and when it appears in the Results box
above, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator".

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation,
type the password, or click Continue. Then see what is on the Startup tab.
You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll get
a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Usually in Vista this will be
blocked by Windows Defender and you'll need to allow it so you can then
tick the box that says in effect, "don't bother me about this again".

Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes.
Instead, use Services.

Start Orb>Search box>type: services and when it appears in the Results box
above, right-click and choose "Run As Administrator". Confirm elevation as
needed.

The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup -

Go to msconfig -> startup and remove the checkmark besides that item
