I've never seen this happen... but, do you have the "Hide extensions for known file types"
set in explorer? imo that setting needs to die <g>. It's the source of quite a few viruses
because the user sees "look at my new baby.jpg" when it's actually "look at my new
baby.jpg.exe"

Anyway, unregister the dll and run RegClean to get rid of all traces. Below is a link to
regclean if you don't have it and my "disclaimer" <g>
