Hello,
I downloaded your SuperAntiSpyware software and ran it. It did not
detect or remove the avmete.dll virus I have but it still looks like a
pretty good product. Thanks for your help.

On your place I would download autorun tools from sysinternals.com and look
for all traces of this dll in shell extensions, BHO and other locations.
Then, I would delete the corresponding registry entry that loads this DLL at
windows startup; and I would do a reboot of machine. After that I guess, you
will be able to delete file from your drive.

Boot to recovery console and delete that file.

Hello,
I had to do some work to figure out how to get the computer to boot to
the recovery console. It involved installing something from the XP Source
CD. I was able to boot to the recovery console and delete the avmete.dll
file. I knew there had to be a way to do that. Thanks for pointing me in
the right direction.
