First, if AVG is not doing the job (I was using it recently and found it to miss viruses as well and switched to avast), I would switch to another antivirus program.
You can download a free unlocking program like this one: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/
There are others that do the job as well, though this one is pretty well known. Once you install it, you can right click on any file and unlock it which will then allow you to remove it.
Alternatively, you can boot in safe mode and 99% of the time if it is not a system file you can delete it.
Hope that helps!
I’ll get ya the proper method first I need to see what the dll identity is
no known identity thats a good start
in Windows/System32 directory locate the dll and mouseover the name of the file
Verify that NO mouseover text appears
now try other OLDER dll’s
notice how they say
What it is Who wrote it and what its for?
Viruses and Spyware dll’s have no text because
that would them make too easy to find
copy the name of file using right click properties
and copy the fle name with extension to avoid a mispelling
Cap I (i) and lower l (L) look alot alike so do other chars
now open START / Run regedit
make sure the top of left pane is highlighted so you can search WHOLE registry
open EDIT / FIND paste in that filename
and search F3 will continue after it stop on a match
but when it stops if you see that filename in the KEY
make sure its highlighted from search don’t get so speedy you disable windows itself
Press delete 1x and 1 x only or youll start whacking a list
REGEDIT aint like other editors it dont have a cancel or quit without saving changes
changes are immediate
good safe practice is MAKE a backup before editing
use that F3 and see if there is more than 1 registry entry for file delte it or those as well
Exit Regedit when search ends
Make sure RESTORE is off
Start/ Control Panel / System folder/ Restore tab check it off for reboot
You may need to change folder view options to see this next one
C:RECYCLER
you need to show hidden and system files
and show system folders
and uncheck hide system files in VIEW FOLDER options
TOOLS / Folder Options from a MY Computer window
if you see a blue icon with a S- name (long name numbers and letters) thats a reseeder registry key
create a new directory in RECYCLER call it like BYEBYE
anything will do
then move that S- file into subdirectory so recycler wont try to reload it
RESTORE is off but Windows likes to replace things from the recycle bin in case you deleted by error
adding a registry key is not what you want
guess what its for
reregistering the dll you are trying to unregister
REBOOT PC
now you can delete that file
