Help: What's afaf1_s.dll

(1/3) > >>

PhilB66:
Please help identify afaf1_s.dll (in \WINDOWS\system32\ folder) and what it does. Google search yields nothing.

Curt:
1) check the various dates it can tell, about installation, and 2) perform a search for changes made at that time, and 3) Windows will reveal what you were doing at that time, so you'll get a hint from where the bastard came.

mouser:
dont have it on my pc.  perhaps you could zip and attach it and one of the more reverse-engineer skilled people on the forum could have a look at it?

PhilB66:
Thanks Curt and mouser, I have already tried that...  >:(

It's listed as a hidden system file but when I try to rip the .dll I get "file is not EXE or DLL" message. I opened it with notepad but all I could see is some strange characters *qò and it's only 5 bytes in size.

I attach the file. Maybe someone could tell what it is.

lanux128:
it's also worth a try to upload the file to virustotal or jotti to have it scanned..
