Question

computer&threats

Answer 1

To my knowledge no.

Answer 2

i believe it is part of a trojan virus (from a quick google search)

If you have a virus checker run that and see what it turns out, if not there are a couple free (trials) online. AVG is good.

Answer 3

If you type chvo0.dll or &quot;chvo0.dll removal&quot; into Google, it shows up on dozens of malware lists. That&#039;s not a good thing.

From one link: &quot;The filename is associated with the malware group KAVKOP:Trojan-A.&quot; http://www.prevx.com/filenames/241525708... It sounds like a key logger - a program designed to record your keystrokes like passwords.

If you don&#039;t have a good anti-virus program, try AVG free.

Answer 4
