dl.exe
What is it?
dl.exe is a file associated with the W32.Bagz@mm worm

What does it do?
W32.Bagz@mm is a mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to email addresses gathered from the infected computer.

When W32.Bagz@mm is executed, it does the following:
  1. Creates the following copy of itself:

    %System% utorial.doc <spaces> .exe

    Note: %System% is a variable that refers to the System folder. By default this is C:WindowsSystem (Windows 95/98/Me), C:WinntSystem32 (Windows NT/2000), or C:WindowsSystem32 (Windows XP).
  2. Adds the value:

    "syslogin.exe" = "syslogin.exe"

    to the registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun

    so that the worm is executed every time Windows starts.
  3. Creates the following files:
    • %System%dl.exe
    • %System%syslogin.exe
  4. Disables the Windows firewall.
  5. Downloads and executes remote files.
  6. Installs its own network driver to bypass local firewalls.

Mikewww.avast.com removed it for me totaly highly recommend it.
RelishWhat you can do manually: Using the information provided above, go to those areas and rename all instances for the files. Also, dump your cache files, remove the Restore point function, don't use Hibernate. After taking these precautions, go into the System (from control panel) configure your Swap File as zero and reboot, defragment, then reinstall the swap file. To get rid of all instances of the file....also check all your backups.
RelishBetter way is the DOS way. Rename the EXE to E1E or whatever. Take away its execution and it can't call itself again. Also look for WinSys.exe, WinSys2.exe. You can also add a letter or number after .exe (.exe2). Deleting the file won't help.
juanbartesearching and removing dl.exe with regedit or unlocker works fine, but next time you restart windows it will appear on a different directory, that means you will find the file AGAIN
