SVCHOST.DLL - Backdoor.Trojan - where can I get a clean ..

[Sven]

My good friend Norton AntiVirus reported that it has
detected the "Backdoor.Trojan" virus in
C:\WINNT\SVCHOST.DLL

Can I replace this file with a clean version and where do
I get it? The SVCHOST.EXE and SVCHOST.DLL were both

Thanks

Hi Sven,
Svchost.exe is a valid Windows file, it does not appear the svchost.dll is.
I would suggest you allow your antivirus program to quarantine or remove
this file as neccessary.
