Guys, Can any one help me on this??

I need to delete an infected file which is protected by the system,
'C:\WININT\System32\saristar.dll', it is a dialer which has nested itself the
system. I can not Diasable the System Restore (like with Windows XP ) because
I run Windows 2000 Professional version. My antivirus program can't delete it
either.

Does anybody know how I can remove this file???

Thanks in Advance
 
It's not protected by anything natively. You'll have to kill the process
that loads it first.

Click to expand...

Boot to a safe command prompt, then delete it.
