Recently I suddenly started getting an error message after boot saying
ofwiecpa.dll cannot be found.

I found a heading named ofwiecpa in my startup list.

Actually there was one just hours before this with a different name, but
it seemed to disappear.

Should I assume this is the work of a recently acquired trojan?

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
