I'm getting a virus message related to expamapi.dll in c:\Windows (windows xp). When I used ProcessExplorer, this dll is related to a bunch of processes, which isn't making sense. Some of the processes listed are:

  • explorer.exe
  • svchost.exe
  • MOM.exe
  • CTDVDDET.exe
  • CTSysVol.exe
  • DLLML.exe
  • CTHELPER.EXE
  • Dropbox.exe

So, does this make sense? Or do I need to do some deep cleaning?

  • Yeah, I'm sure. And this is what is causing me confusion as well...what the hell is this thing? That file is in the Windows folder and apparently associated with all of those processes, according to ProcessExplorer. Sep 27, 2010 at 14:27

I posted a related question on the BitDefender forum and they confirmed that this is a malicious file. A deep scan removed it.
