If you can't delete the DLL file from within Windows, you might have better luck booting into either Safe Mode and deleting it, OR booting to the Command Prompt and deleting it.

Did you actually delete the file, then when you rebooted it was back? If that is the case, it seems that the infected DLL file is getting reseeded every time you reboot, therefore making removing it seem nearly impossible.

I wonder if this was the same file that crashed my computer last year. I should of asked you guys about this when I had this problem. My computer got so full of adware that eventually my desktop background changed to something like "your computer may be infected," and there was this message telling me that the computer needs to restart and there was a countdown under it. The only method that I could think of to get rid of the virus was to restore my computer, and so I did. It caused me to lose everything on my harddrive. At least the virus was gone, though. After that all happened, that's when I decided to switch from IE to Firefox.
Try renaming the file, then delete it.. If that doesnt work, reboot it, start in safe mode, then rename and delete. Ssould work!
Thanks to a program called VundoFix, I was able to successfully delete the file.
