    First, se.dll is a part of the Search-exe.com Spyware. If you cannot delete this in normal mode. Then follow me below.

    1) Reboot your computer pressing F8 when you see the BIOS screen screen flashing.

    2) When the list of options appear, choose "Safe Mode".

    3) After you are in Safe Mode try to delete the file again.

    4) Since you have this, probably would be a good idea to read this sticky thread,
    READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    5) If you still cant remove the file, then we will procede and use a tool to remove it, let me know.

    Thanks Bj :)

    Check again after rebooting a couple times! This has a habit of coming back.

    Do as Chas said, sometimes these things can be a pain and return. If it comes back let one of us know.

    Thanks Bj :)
