1.Download the processxpnt utility from sysinternals.com
2. Run processxpnt and search the dll name.
3. It will show you the processes where dll is currently loaded.
4. kill all processes and the delete the dll.
Above method is certainly not a clean way to remove the virus but it helps sometimes :)

Sometimes, you can get a quick erase by changing the name of the .dll file. Just add a letter if front of the name. Next step is to use another virus software that can extract such files. Next, if nothing works, "format c".

Depends on the specific virus on how to actually remove. You CAN un-register the dll, but I highly recommend that you get a good antivirus to do it for you.
Go to http://www.avast.com and download their free program. Once installed, schedule a boot scan. Quarantene anything it finds.

Or, lower back, you ought to only have a equipment corruption. shop your archives and reinstall your os and apps.

disable the system restore. Run your anti virus software.
eg .... hijack this, avg, windows defender. after scanning reboot
check it again. when its gone turn system restore back on.
