    About bloodhound.packed

    Have you disabled system restore and tried doing an online scan at Housecall ?

    *edit*
    Go to the Files Option (click the View tab)in Control Panel and uncheck both the "Hide file extension for known file types" and "Hide protected operating system files" (Recommended)-boxes, then OK yourself out.
    You will then need to restart your computer and and go into Safe Mode by tapping your F8 key repeatedly. When you're at the DeskTop screen go to Start/ Search/ For Files and Folders and type ia.dll Once you find it.....you can delete it from there.

    I believe you have bigger problems than that, and the Ia.Dll is not alone.
    This is part of a dialer program, you need to download Ad-Aware and Spybot. After installing, update them both. With Ad-Aware, use the Custom Full Scan.
    With Spybot, after checking for problems, remove everything already checked off.
    Then use HijackThis, do a scan and post the log on here, and wait for advice on it.
    The links are below.
    You should be able to download these, as Macromedia Flash [if this is what you mean] uses an ActiveX control to initiate the download, and these downloads do not.
    If you cannot access either of those sites to download, do a Find on your computer for the file HOSTS, not Hosts.Sam, it has no extension, and delete it.
    There is a manual removal for that file here, but the above programs will do you a big favor.
