it seems this is a first for me getting a virus that i cannot get rid of.. this is a nasty piece of work..

http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=138991

nod32 cant delete it due to the nature of what it is.. every time i delete the registry entry it gets re-written, the actually dll itself cannot be even seen in the windows explorer but its there

ive tried everything..

the only thing i can think of now is using a dos boot disk to delete the dll... but i dont have a floppy drive arghh

has anyone experienced this?
 
ok after about 5 minutes after writing this.. i found out how to get rid of it..

use a feature from the tool 'hijackthis' to delete zopenssl.sys and zopenssl.dll on reboot
