  perhaps you cant delete bcos it is running.
  
  press alt+ctrl+del and stop the process, may be call "stdup", or maybe some other name. If it is "stdup", stop this process and try to delete the dll file manually. If it is not "stdup", try to stop all the unknown process, then delete that dll file manually.

  Simple. Boot into safe mode, then go and delete the file
  If safe mode the file is running, ctrl+alt+del to end the process, but in safe mode, that file shouldn't be running.

  To go into safe mode, press F8 when the computer boots up... and after you're done with the safe mode, just reboot the computer and the file should be gone.
  
  If in safe mode you cannot delete the file, simply rename the file and reboot again in safe mode, then the renamed file can be deleted now.

  Delete from folder doesn't mean it's removed. Adwares nowadays are powerful, stay in registry one. A few more days later you will come crying back for the same adware again.
  
  Anyway, print out this page instructions and be careful when cleaning your system.

  i like to say this is a tedious but quite an effective method...though it should be done in extreme caution as anything deleted cannot be retrieved back again easily...

  The first version of Beta is better than this version. This version too user-unfriendly. Simple as it is, but very bad to use. And Microsoft themselves also spies on us. Which is the best thing.

  An anti-spyware that spys, is an oxymoron.
