There is no dload.exe in my system32 folder. You could
rename it, if you can.
I reckon you will get the crap regarding something is using
it, unable to
delete.
Renaming may get round this, reboot then delete it.

It may help to start in safe mode.

I get a virus warning several times a day from my virus
program saying that
the small8 trojan virus was found in the above file. It will
heal the virus,
but it just comes back. I have denied internet access to
the file in my
firewall but still get the virus message. If I choose to
delete the file I
get a warning from the virus program that deleting windows
files could cause
the system to stop working. I would like to find out if the
above file is an
actual windows file or did the virus plant itself in that
folder so that it
wouldn't be deleted and should I go ahead and delete this
file? I've been
getting this virus message at least 4 times a day for
several days.
