What is Terobila.dll?

This may work. I'm scared to look any further. I hope it works.

Here's another.

Neither of these sites had a negative impact on my computer, so they are safe to open. I can't vouch for the instructions.

Thanks a bunch kramarat! Kaspersky was one of my next thoughts. I think I will try it, then if no joy, I will try the other one.

Sure thing!

BTW, I think the computer nerds that dream this stuff up and implement it, should be shot if caught.

I think one of them will work, just don't mistype the commands. Good luck.....let me know if it works.

Frankly I have a few things that are much more painful than just shooting them in mind...

I have been contemplating castration with a rubber mallet. It would probably take more than one blow, but eventually the job would be done.

I fiddled around with the second reference that Kramarat gave me, but I still have the problem. I have a friend who does this professionally so after the first of the year, I will take it in to get it looked at.

All the "script" mentioned vaguelly reminds me of the batch files I used to write back in the DOS days, but I have no idea what to do with "script".

Laters...

I am sure this as been submitted before, but the .dll is a "Dynamic Link Library" file designed to contain a common set of program functions that are used by Windows based software.

The .dll association is managed by Windows Registry which is a vital part of your Windows operating system. Your PC relies on the integrity of its Windows Registry to provide accurate reference to about dll when it is used by other applications.

The specific file you removed was related to an Adware/AntiSpywareMalware program, which removes known viruses, trojans, worms, and adware....

You can resolve your problem by using a number of "PC repair programs", of which most can be found on the internet (not all free unfortunately).

Hope this helps you anyway,

AVG Full version 2011 and PC Tuneup 2011 has some fantastic new additions that can repair your registry.

There is a free version of PC Tuneup that is available for 24 hour use that was offered with the 2011 Full update that I purchased yesterday. I tried the free and it did wonders for this laptop.

After a few years or so of computing and having tried almost all of the Security Programs, AVG Full Version seems to be the best in taking care of rogues sneaking around my computers.

With all of the programs available in Full, including a great firewall, I find it cheaper than picking and choosing several programs. Of course, I have a few other free security programs downloaded from Major Geeks to enhance the AVG.

Respectfully.

I'm a little rusty on windows but have you looked in recycle? or gone back to 'last known configuration' in registry?

And I know this is probably cruel; but in the late 80's or early 90's someone sent a 'virus alert' around telling people "System 32" was a virus and should be deleted.

It does pay to check what stuff is.

My son had something similar on his laptop and I used a program called 'malwarebytes' to sort it out. Malwarebytes is a free download and on this occasion found and cleared more than 700 very bad files. You may have to start your computer in safe mode to get a clean start point.

The people who spread this sort of computer virus should have their hands removed - to stop them using a keyboard in future!

Malwarebytes is a very good program. Won't get everything (what will?) but it'll get a lot of it. Another good program is Spybot Search and Destroy. I particularly like it's "immunize" function which closes a lot of infection routes in Internet Explorer. If you've had the bad fortune to have been infected with a rootkit, the only way to reliably get rid of it is to format the drive with the \mbr switch enabled and reinstall everything from scratch.

I believe you are dealing with a Vundo variant, which are real stinkers to get removed. Your AVG won't "see" it because it has been tampered with and running it will do no good.

What I would do is uninstall AVG completely. Reboot your computer in safe mode with networking, then download and install free programs Malwarebytes here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/, and Superantispyware here: http://www.superantispyware.com/malwarefiles/TEROBILA.DLL.html Run a full system scan using both programs after you have updated both programs. Reboot following completion again into safe mode, and run full system scans again. It may take three or more tries to get all of the bugs out. Download and update AVG free addition, as well as free registry repair, which is here: http://www.regsofts.com/free_registry_repair/updatev20.htm. Run registry repair, then a full scan with your AVG. This should completely delouse your system. Restart to normal and report back if this didn't do the trick.

A gentler approach is download adaware. It will repair the dll and also, hopfully catch the culprit. Happy new year.
