If you don't know how then the process would take too long to convey. It would be better and safer for you to backup your files immediatly and reinstall your operating system. Be sure to install security software as soon as you get it back up again. Do as much of this as possible without being connected to the network as the hacker may instantly hack you once you're back up.

The suggestion above didn't work for me because I could't find the rm.exe file. Can any one suggest any other methods?

The way I did it: put deltree somewhere on your HD, boot with a win98 cd, then deltree it all (one directory above com1. Reinstalling your OS will not help.

With Windows 2000, I removed c:\inetpub\ftproot\incoming\com1\ that way:
C:\>del /s \\.\c:\inetpub\ftproot\incoming\com1 \\.\c:\inetpub\ftproot\incoming\com1\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y \\.\c:\inetpub\ftproot\incoming\com1\upped_by_blues\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? y
C:\>rd /s \\.\c:\inetpub\ftproot\incoming\com1 \\.\c:\inetpub\ftproot\incoming\com1, Are you sure (Y/N)? y

Response #7 worked like a charm in NT as well: del /s \\.\d:\inetpub\ftproot\ etc. etc.
Just preceed your directory with \\.\ Also works with RMDIR /S
Allows Windoze to ignore invalid names... something that SHOULD happen anyway.

My problem is the [expletive deleted] somehow replaced the permissions on the files so I can't delete them, and if I try to change the access permissions the file system can't find the file or I get access denied. Catch 22. Anyone?

Login as Administrator, "Take Ownership" of the files/directories in question. Then follow "Response 2". I have been fighting this for 3 days. This solution does work with W2K server.
Summary: Can anyone please tell me how to delete a DLL file from WIndows/System folder, as I keep being told I cannot delete it as windows is using it. The trouble is the DLL is faulty and I want to replace it...
