    Hi

    I did a full scan with ewido in safe mode and got a specific file called "xxywwur.dll" as a high risc. Then i rebooted again and when i logged in to windows the normal way, ewido is giving me notices that this file called "xxywwur.dll" (in system32 folder) is a high risc.

    So i booted into safe mode again and tried to delete that dll, but windows says another program is running it.

    My problem now is that i have absolutely no idea what program is using that dll.

    If anyone could help on how to fix this problem, it is very much appreciated cause it is driving me crazy.

    Let Ewido fix it. Files with these types of names are typically spyware. Run the Ewido scan and apply the recommended actions. That's what Ewido is for.

    Look at ewido's report, if you see a square bracket with a number in it (eg. [2406] or whatever) then that will be the PID of the process involved. You can then click ewido's analysis section, click the 'Processes' tab and look for the process with that PID.

    You would need to select that process and click the 'Terminate application' button to halt the process, before attempting to do a scan with ewido to remove the .dll. If it is loaded into more than one process, you would need to simultaneously terminate the relevant processes. If it is an important system file involved you may BSOD yourself.

    Another try, if you can find the .dll in Windows Explorer, is to use 'Unlocker' from here:-

    http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/#download

    Download and install Unlocker, then right click the file and select Unlocker. From the box that appears you choose 'Delete' in the dropdown box (bottom left) and click the 'Unlock All' button.

    see if that helps.
