Well I keep on getting this file in my windows/ temp folder. Its called SE.dll and it keeps on installing itself after i delete it. I just scaned my computer for viruses using Avast and it came back. It makes pop ups come up saying spyware is in my computer. Its quite annoying. What should i do.

It's Spyware. If you don't have any spyware progs, check the knowledge base. If you do, update them and run them. Download HijackThis too, and post your log.
 
One trick you could do which is very clever is this**: Click on properties the SE.dll and change the settings to read only. That way it won't execute itself. Also, for that added effect, try moving it from the windows/temp folder, that may work it treat.

**This sometimes works with quite a few .dll files and sometimes it doesn't. So I'm not promising anything. Good luck.

also when i go onto internet explorer. It goes to a blank page and then a pop comes up telling me that i have spyware. but i think it comes from se.dll
That's because you have a browser hijacker. Have you removed what I told you to remove?

With regards to the other entries, I would delete them but make a backup.

I've never seen them in a log before and they don't show up in a web search, implying to me that they're not common, benign files.

Malware often generates randomly-named files, and because you are infected with spyware that's probably the case.
