MessageI have this happen with a dll attached to iexplore.exe.
The dll was placing pornography in a new IE window everytime any action was 
done in IE, even opening the Internet options opened a new IE window with Porn.

I had to boot up Windows Recovery command window to delete the dll from 
system32 and dllcache.

BTW dllcache is where windows stores it's back up copies of files.

    Well, I usually use *sysinternals* Process Exporer, and have yet to see it 
fail to list a process...  how do you know the process exists, if you can't 
list it?

    Real simple.  I have randomly named processes (like gk5odre.exe) popping 
up, and when I kill them, another one takes their place.  *Something* has to be 
the parent than controls this.  I can delete an entire registry key and watch 
it be recreated in less than a second.  I can delete a directory with three 
dlls in it and watch it be recreated right before my eyes.  I can kill the 
randomly named process and watch it reappear using the same name or a 
completely different name.  I can delete the executable after killing the 
process, and it will be recreated in no time.  So *something* has to be 
controlling it, yet when I look at the process tree, the randomly named process 
appears to be the parent.
