shdocvw.dll and Possiblity of Spyware?

[gonwk]

Hi folks,

I downloaded PDFConvert from GAOTD the other day and every time I try to run it or to install an upgrade during trial ... I get an "Alert" that the program is trying to "Modify" the "shdocvw.dll" under System 32 folder.

I searched the web ... but I am not able to find a straight answer if ...

Q1: Can "shdocvw.dll" be used as a Spyware?

Q2: Can a program Modify this DLL?

Q3: Am I too paranoid about this DLL?

Thanks,

G!

Thus check the shdocvw.dll process on your pc whether it is pest. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security.

I'd delete that PDFConvert from GAOTD.
