PC infected with WLCtrl32

Zone: Spyware / Ad Blockers

Tags: Stubborn Infection - WLCtrl32

I have been cleaning a pc that was heavily infected with a variety of malware. I have got it down to one infection which I am finding impossible to remove. It is WLCtrl.dll located in C:\windows\System32. When it loads in creates an entire folder in : HKLM>Software>Microsoft>WindowsNT>CurrentVersion>WinLogon>Notify
I am able to delete the Registry folder but not the .dll. therefore teh registry entry just recreates itself. I have tried removing it from safe mode but no joy. I can rename the .dll but again no joy. I am using Spyware Terminator sa it seems to pick this Trojan up best.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. If you want either a HJI log or other log (such as WinPFind3U) then I can provide it happily. This pc had previously been infected with Vundo but I had thought it was clean. With thanks.
