It's not a WinXP or Win98 file, and the last article I can find on it was
written in 1997 as you say about Win95.
Lots of malware generates character string type names, so some names might
turn out to be readable.

If you're running Win 2K or XP, there's a program called Advanced Process
Manipulator available from:
http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=apm

It will let you search through the running processes to find the offending
.dll, then unload it from the process.
Once it's no longer running, you can delete it.
