THere's no such thing as a win file. Sure its a file made for windoze,
but there is nothing inherently special about windoze binaries that
makes them untouchable

Same as always the terminal window locks up. The problem is that scywebMT.dll' is a
Win file.

Once I have used a Linux boot diskette to boot in order to remove a
dos-based boot sector virus. Wonder if it is a good idea to use another box
to telnet or ftp into this one to remove the file.

*.dll are windows-specific system files, but as the others
on the list say, it could be anything since linux doesn't
use file extensions.
Seems that yu are using GUI. Can you right-click on it to
review its property?
Or can you use console mode and ls or cat the file ?
Do you run wine or win4lin ?
