hi, i left a mesage on here about an hour ago and was successful in removing my about:blank virus. The se.dll file, however, stayed in my system 'temp' folder and i was worried if it would make my about:blank virus return. please could someone tell me what the 'se.dll' file is and how to remove it. thanks thanks to every1 who has a spare bit of time to help other people on here!

Boot to Dos standalone and type: del mc:\windows\temp\se.dll or to delete all the files in the temp folder: del c:\windows\temp\*.*

OOps the first one should be: del c:\windows\temp\se.dll

hi thanks for the help but sorry, i'm not an expert at computers so could you tell me what you mean by 'Boot to Dos standalone' please. thank you, sorry for being trouble Thanks to everyone that replies to my messages, god bless you =

Start up the computer. Before the OS starts to load start tapping F8. A menu should come up. Choose 'command prompt only'. At the c:\> prompt type the command ham30 gave. Someone recently posted a way to keep that file from ending up on a computer. Just create a folder in windows\temp and name it se.dll. Windows won't allow a folder and file with the same name in the same directory so consequently it won't allow the se.dll file to download. And since se.dll always seems to download to windows\temp that method should keep it off your computer. This should work for any virus file that consistently downloads to a specific location.

Also, after noticing you've been infected, it's a good idea to shutdown and choose to restart in msdos mode. Then at the prompt type scanreg/restore and enter. Then choose a registry to restore with a date that precedes the problem. That registry you restore won't have any of the changes the virus may have made.

Disconnect from the net and close all open programs. Go to safe mode. Run 'SpSeHjfix'. and click on "Start Disinfection". When it's finished it will reboot your machine to finish the cleaning process.
