I did not vote above because neither option is correct.
Also your INFO is incorrect. i.e.Some Malware tools DO identify and detect these files as problematic. However, via some clever deception, during reboot for their removal process, the flags for their identification and removal disappear. Beginning in mid-January 2015 many computers were infected by this adware. SO FAR -> No automated tool for removal of this pest has been made public. ALSO, During manual attempts to remove these files, a rogue SERVICE is invoked which prevents removal. THIS IS BAD STUFF!

@Lee: This variant of ColorMedia64.dll was not detected for some reason. Here's another one which is detected by a few of the antivirus programs:

Every time i open my computer (HP windows 10) i get the following message:
(C:\windows\system32\ColorMedia64.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using original installatin or contact your system admin. Error Status Orc000012f).
I never installed this, so this must be an error. How do i remove it manually?

@Sridhar: Some program is trying to load ColorMedia64.dll on your machine. Based on the error message ColorMedia64.dll is located in your C:\windows\system32\ folder.

It's possible FreeFixer can help you track down the problem, but I'm not sure.

@ Roger Karlsson,
Thanks.
The error window keeps popping up now and then. Computer seems to be functioning OK. I ran the anti-virus program that I have (webroot) but it did not remove this program. Is there a way of knowing which program is trying to load this ColorMedia 64.dll so that I can try removing that program?

@Sridhar: Does the error message pop-up mention an .exe file in the window title bar?
