Answer #2

Sometimes an anti virus program will pick up a false reading when it scans.

This is not uncommon and some manufacturers of the anti virus programs encourage people to contact them in such cases so they can tweak the settings in the next version they are working on to ensure that it does not happen in future.

Also, as far as spyware is concerned, in some cases, what is classed as spyware by one anti virus program will not be classed as spyware by another.

There is no black and white agreement as to the exact definition of spyware and there are some that fall into a bit of a grey area.

I dont think you have anything to worry about.

Maybe running Regcure will repair the .dll file…I don’t think it’s a real virus…Usually, you can Google the file name, and come up with something if it’s a real virus, but all I could find was Registry Cleaners when I typed in winkeeper-sheder.dll…I tried winkeeper-shedder.dll, too…and nada.
