spyware adder virus

[Guest]

For the last few days I've had a virus on my computer that has managed to
escape my virus scanners, disabled norton antivirus, and keeps adding
spyware. At regular intervals an error box appears saying that access is
denied to a file in documents and settings called se.dll, which then the
virus shield finds and deletes. But it reppears after a certain amount of
time. I've used avg 7 virus scanner, spyware doctor, and the cleaner so far.
None of them seem to be able to get rid of it completely.

Hello,

The SE.DLL is part of the Adware.IEPlugin virus. Adware.IEPlugin is an
Internet Explorer (IE) Browser Helper Object that monitors Web site
addresses, content entered into forms, and local file names that are browsed.

Adware.IEPlugin displays an advertisement when it sees a targeted keyword.
It will also install a running process to update itself by contacting servers
every few minutes. This adware may also add a few bookmarks to your Favorites
menu.

When this adware is executed, the installer performs the following actions:

Installs several files in the %Windir% folder.

Starts a running process (usually Wupdt) that can make calls to various
servers to update its code.

Adds the value:
"Win Server Updt" = "%WinDir%\Wupdt.exe"
to the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

May add the value:
"Win Server" = "%WinDir%\winserv.exe"
to the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

The removal tool can be found at the following website:

Hope this helps,
