PendingFileRenames? Where can I find this? Is this in the registry? Never heard of it. I'm in XP, BTW.

Sampson, I was able to remove the DLL from the Windows NT registry area (as you mentioned above). But it always comes back eventually. I even renamed it, but it recreated the DLL with the same name again. I even used the Permissions area to Deny access, and I don't see the DLL listed in the registry any longer, but I can't delete the DLL from the system32 directory, and McAfee keeps alerting me about the virus still. The zonavirus link didn't help either. The program said it can't open the DLL, and McAfee said access denied.

quaf, tried that a long time ago. Access denied. Can't turn off the Read Only either. Access denied. Someone did a good job with this one. Alec, yep, '93 Georgia Tech grad. Industrial Engineering. I live in Sandy Springs now, so not far from Marietta.

Sampson, Thought I had it but the DLL keeps coming back. It appears to be gone, but then I get the Antivirus popup and it's back again. Alec, Sorry, I want to try your option, but I don't have the installation CD.

PTS, tried the regsvr32, but got "Load library failed, access is denied." Will it ever end?

Sampson, tried sysinternals, but the msephh.dll doesn't even show up in the list! McAfee keeps warning me about it constantly though.

Jerry atrik, When I right click on the file and choose Properties, all I have is the general tab. The file is read only, but when I turn it off and apply, I get "An error occurred while applying attributes." Then I have the IGNORE, IGNORE ALL, RETRY, CANCEL options. I'm screwed either way.

Hey jerry atrik (yeah, I get the name), you said click/properties/security. Where is this?

Thanks, but I did EXACTLY that, and I still get "Access denied" in DOS. (I'm very computer literate by the way.) Any other ideas?

There's a DLL in my \windows\system32 directory (XP) called msephh.dll, and it contains the Backdoor-CFB virus. Very annoying. McAfee prompts me to delete or quarantine the file, but I get an Access Denied. I went to DOS to try to delete it, but I still get an access denied. I can't delete it in Explorer either. The weirdest thing: I reboot and load Safe mode. The DLL isn't there in Safe Mode!!! Someone on here mentioned Shift-Delete, but that doesn't work either. I even tried a System Restore (turning it off) option that I found at microsoft.com, but I still couldn't do it. How can I FORCE this file to be deleted?
