Need to remove atledit.dll spyware
I have a piece of spyware on my computer that seems to be related to this .dll file:
Winnt/System32/atledit.dll
This .dll is hidden, and I am unable to delete it, even in safe mode.
I also found a reference to atledit.dll here:
HKLM\software\Microsoft\Wi
IF I delete the WOW folder it just comes right back. This spyware creates IE popups on my desktop. How can i get rid of this?

I downloaded and executed the Vx2 Finder and got a message that this Finder is only for 9x based systems. Sorry, I'm using XP.

I ran the VX2 finder and it didn't detect the .dll i'm referring to.
I found the cause of my popups, but can't seem to get rid of this .dll. If I delete it from the registry it just comes right back, and if I try and remove it from the System32 folder I get an access denied error.
How can I get rid of this, or at least keep it from executing?

Try running the free online copy of X-Cleaner: http://www.spywareguide.com/txt_onlinescan.html

I tried the X-Cleaner. The program ended up crashing.
