Why would a system.dll icon suddenly appears on my desktop?

This computer had been acting all kinds of crazy as of late but that has got me too worried yet since I have most of my files backed up and I plan on buying a new one shortly. I just want this one to last a little longer.
Every so often it blue screens me but I can always get it back by either booting in safe mode (which in never does-it always just goes back to normal) or some other thing, each time it take something different.

Should probably just re-install the OS but then I would have to redo all the other crap. Like I said I just want it to last a little longer with out a major break down.

However today it did something it has never done. After my usually 3 or so attempts to bring it back it finally did so, only this time I had a new Icon on the desktop which was a systems.dll icon. This has never happened before and I was wondering what the heck that thing is and can I just delete it off the desktop and not worry about it.
Or is it a symptom of something worse that I should be aware of?

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

It sounds to me like your system is infected with malware.
