Infected and deleted .dll

[Sebastian]

Hi,
I manually deleted an .dll which was infected (according to my anti virus
software), the file was somewhere in AppData/Local, and its tag was
"byXPGWpn.dll". Now every time I log on to Windows Vista a warning dialog
appears informing that the file wasn't found. I restore the system to a
previous point, but nothing happened.
What does this file do? Should I replace it? If so: Ho do I get it?
Best regards,

Hi Sebastian,

That's not a legitimate file, it was malware to begin with. Your antivirus
product did its job and deleted the file, it just didn't remove the
reference in the registry that loaded it. Run regedit from the start/search
line, and check for a string that refers to it under these keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Delete the string from the right pane when found.
