Thanks for posting the various tools for my computers security.

After Kaspersky Online FINALLY downloaded and FINALLY scanned, it came up with an infection that none of my other scanners came up with.. I've been using AVG8, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D and a new one SuperAntiSpyware.

Kaspersky came up with the following.. but it doesn't seem to be set for deleting it or quaranteening it???? Probably a dumb question.. but do I simply try to find the location as reported below and delete it or ???

Thanks for your help

Kaspersky online does not remove things for you, it just scans and tells you where they are. You can move and rename that file and see if there are any adverse effects first, then delete it when everything seems ok. I looked in my Vista and comdlg32.ocx is not part of my system.

Hi LL.. I googled that file and it looks like it should be in versios prior to Vista at least. I copied a clean version to my desktop.. so will, as you suggested, rename the file as .old vs .ocx and put the new file in it's place if that sounds reasonable??

Both my XP PC's have that file in the same directory. Mine were 140,488 KB with a create date of 5/22/2000.

You might find a file submittal site like http://virusscan.jotti.org/ and have the original one uploaded and checked just to double check kaspersky.
