I am running the new Windows Defender however every time I reboot I get the
following message:

"dinst.exe - Bad Image"

"The application or DLL C:\WINDOS\dsr.dll is not a valid Windows image.
Please check this against your installation diskette."

Does anyone know how to remove this?

I think you are in luck:

If you go here:

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.ieplugin.html

Symantec has an automated removal tool for the original infection which
placed the objects named in these messages on your system. It looks like
what you are seeing is the result of incomplete removal of the spyware.

Scroll down in the above link to just below "removal instructions" where
there is a link to their executable removal tool.

Try that tool--I believe it will remove the remants of this infection that
are generating these messages.
