I read that Webkit-image is a "web browser" which saves an image of a 
Web page (rather than displaying the page).
I don't know what would have installed it on your machine, but not QGIS.
But I think this dll shouldn't be a problem... unless C:\webkit-image
has 
been permanently added to your Windows PATH variable.

I think you'll find that the one in the Windows folder is causing your 
problem.  QT isn't used by Windows itself, so you could try deleting it,

to see if that solves the problem.  But you might find that there are 
other related dlls which cause the same problem.  
And presumably this would break whichever program installed the dll.  
If you don't use the offending program it would be good to uninstall it.
If you do use it, life might be getting more complicated :)

See above comment about the containing folders being added to the PATH 
variable
