I think my virus program (AVG -grisoft) is unable to remove this properly, because everytime I boot up it shows up again.

Some observations:

- it seems to show up in c:\temp\installer.exe (not sure that's the exact exe name). Deleting the whole folder doesn't work...it just gets created again.

- autoexec.nt seems to get deleted as well, which makes running 16bit programs impossible, until you replace it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Apologies..I misread the name of the virus..it's "Delf" not "Dell"...:) Looks like there are some solutions out there already.

I would suggest to disable system restore and then use Spybot S&D

Make sure to up-date it before using it.
1-Check for problems
2-Fix Problems
3-Immunize

in safe mode. Don't forget to start up system restore after the removal


If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Changes in registry can be FATAL! Glad to have a chance to help you.
