The dll file could actually be the cause of you getting the downloader virus. First focus on deleting the dll file and then you can run a virus program to eliminate any other viruses on your computer. First find out what processes that dll file has attached itself to. Go to run and enter procexp. When that pops up go to find dll or handle and enter your dll file name. It will specify which processes it has attached itself. If it's not a vital process then you can kill the process and subsequently delete that dll file. If it's attached to the winlogon.exe or explorer processes then here are a few more steps. Right click on each process seperately and go to properties. Under threads you will need to right click and kill each instance of the dll. You will also need to do this with any handles listed. I had to suspend the winlogon handle. Then you should be able to delete that dll. If it's protected and you can't delete it. Move the file to another folder... I moved it to a new folder in My Documents. Then reboot and you should be able to delete that file. Good luck...

I think that some more info is needed like what operating system you use, have you tried to do it from a bootscan, what virus detection system do you have before this can be answered.
Yes. The free program called YouTube Downloader is virus-free. Simply go to onlinetut.com and grab your videos not virus. http://www.onlinetut.com/tutorial/downloader/home.jsp
I got rid of it easily with bullguard anti virus. I just used the free trial and five of them came up where my other anti virus software and addware remover didn't even spot it. It even showed me how to remove one file from my backup files.
Hi Just a suggestion but make sure you have the latest virus definitions from symantec then restart PC in Safe Mode run anti virus scan in safe mode and see if this makes a difference. Go to Symantec web site and follow suggestions on how to remove all downloader virus files from PC.
Either fine out where it is in your computer and manulay remove it or get a real antivirus such as nod32 or kaspersky.
