It's the guts of the operating system.

It CAN be infected with malware occasionally, but I wouldn't go about deleting it.

Your AV sofwtare will tell you in no uncertain terms if it is infected.

It's the guts of the operating system.

Only if it is in the windows folder of Win 98 or Windows/system32/dllcache and Windows/system32/ folders of 2k/XP.

Anywhere else, get rid:thumbsup:.
