A colleague's computer is sitting morosely on my living room floor, infected
(so it seems, according to AVG) with the Trojan startpage.16.m and no matter
how many times AVG finds and heals the offending file - se.dll - the
infection reappears on every reboot. And since this seems to be a variant
of other startpage Trojans, dedicated removal methods don't appear to work
across the board.

There are a number of web forums which are discussing this problem but none
seem to have dealt with it completely on a Windows ME machine, and I'm
rather at a loss as to what I might do short of a reformat, which is an
unpopular option due to important files.

Has anyone seen/come across an effective way of dealing with this little
bugger?

TIA
