Probably a silly question but why can't you delete the .dll files?
Have you tried booting into safe mode and then trying to delete them? Are the .dll files you need to delete related to Kazaa or other software on your pc?

That's what was worrying
Have down loaded adaware and payed for it gone into safe mod then run again, seems to have done the job-- or has quarantined them.
Thanks for to all

Done it in safe mode because the .dll files were probably in use by windows/other software so couldn't delete them.
When in safe mode the .dll files in question were probably not in use so could then be deleted
Paid for Adaware you should try Spybot it picked up allot more things on my system which Adaware didn't even detect! You can download it for free

Damn it [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I thought i had got rid of the damn pop ups kazza had installed.
It seemed ok for a few days, now the damn things are back, i usually get 2 at a time popping up every few minutes [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Ad Ware does detect them and removes the offending reg keys, but somehow they seem to keep coming back.
Im going to try the Spybot thing now .....
