Kat,
A Trojan Horse is a virus... and dll is NOT good. You can go to Norton (Symantec) and others too and enter the name and find out what the severity is and what is advised.
But by all means girl, get protection.

Hi Nanci!
Thanks for your answer. I was using Norton Internet Security for a while, because it was already installed when I bought my hp laptop.
Now the license is finished and I am running AVG, So I am not without protection.
But with AVG all these popups and messages are annoying and confusing.
When I get a security warning like mentioned above and the option to "heal" the affected file fails, I am asked if I want to delete the file, but get warned that this may cause the whole system to crash. So I dont really know what is safe to delete and what is not. ???
I know how important protection is, especially with Trojan Horses, but I need a program where I dont have to take decisions all the time, that I feel I am not knowledgable enough to take.

Used to like Norton, not anymore, too many conflicts and errors.
I stopped using Norton five or six years ago.
In fact, a few years back I got a new notebook that had Norton installed on and the first thing I did was uninstall it!
Been using Trend Micro products for five or six years now on several computers and have never had a problem.
Oh, and their warning messages are a little more 'friendly'...
They have 30 day trials, so you can see for yourself. - Thanks,
jim

Go with the guys recommendations. Sounds like they have been around the block with several versions.

I agree with JEM, Norton was good until version 2001 or 2002
- Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

I keep hearing goods things about kaspersky, but yet to try it...was okay with Norton 2009, but there are a number of things I am not happy with now, so I, too, am looking at alternatives.
