Unknown windows shell execute hook?

[anon]

Hi,

Looking under advanced tools > System Explorers > Shell
Execute Hooks

The hook - Microsoft.AntiSpyware.ShellExecuteHook.1
is unknown!!!!

path: c:\program files\microsoft
antispyware\shellextension.dll version 1.0.614.10

I would of thought MSAS, would recognise its own hook or
has this file been altered by malware?

I've run all my anti-malware apps and have found nothing.
Also uploaded the file to several online scanners all
came up clean.

file details below:
c:\program files\microsoft antispyware\shellextension.dll
version 1.0.614.10
md5: 4b202fff9eb43fdc8d3290deaab7487e
size: 98.7KB(101,080 bytes)
size on disk: 100KB (102,400 bytes)

Are the file details md5 listed above valid?
Is this a minor bug, or a major problem?

Thanks in advance

Wow--the print's too small for me to read, but my MD5 looks like yours, at
least at the beginning and the end.

I think this is a minor issue. One possible explanation is a policy that
beta code not be listed as "known." However, I've also seen some non-beta
code listed that way I believe.

Bill,
OP is correct. I reported it on 613.
