I have Trend installed as the virus application and when saving a text selection it came up with a high warning that 'OVP is trying to configure windows so that a program library (DLL) is automatically loaded by some or all of your applications etc.' 
Should I be worried!!


Yes, but probably about the quality of "Trend".
I really don't know. OP won't configure Windows to load a DLL automatically. In fact after installation it does not configure Windows at all. 

I wonder if the same event happens if you do other types of save?
I can imagine that doing a save forces Windows to load the DLL for the save dialogue - normally that is part of Windows, but you can get enhanced replacements. So the first save you do from OP may generate the above event.
Another though is that some applets write to the OP program folder - this was discussed a few weeks back in the light of Vista stopping such operations, and I provided replacement applets. I don't think this is the explanation though.
