bho help please!

[Susan]

I have found 4 bho's that have the file missing but the
dll's are the following:
avikcap32.dll
INCFN~1.DLL
media knob.dll
ip.dll

Is there a way to determine if this is spyware or do I
just need to disable them and see if anything breaks and
then enable them?

Thanks for any suggestions. I have tried to find up-to-
date list but website links seem to be broken for Merijn
Bellekom's BHOList.exe.

Thanks for help!
Susan

Do you have any anti-virus software installed?
Do an online scan at RAV:

or Panda:

I ran Trend Micro's free virus scan and already removed
TROJ AGENT.L
ADW SCANPORTA
ADW RULEDOR.C
TROJ AGENT.CC
TROJ AGENT.BN
TROJ AGENT.CK
TROJ AGENT.EA
TROJ AGENT.L
TROJ AGENT.PEPER.A
TROJ AGENT.LOOME.A
TROJ SCTHOUGHT.C
I thought that anti-virus did not usually detect BHO's.
But I will try your suggestion.

Thanks,
Susan

Most likely the files were left behind by the antivirus programme.

Use BHODemon to disable the files temporarily; if you have no detrimental
effect, rename the BHOs... if after a month or so you are still ok, THEN you
can safely delete the files:
