    MFPlay.dll?

    I just downloaded the new Yahoo Toolbar version 8. The CA Anti-Spy was included for free.
    I ran the scan, and CA Anti-Spy found this file as a Trojan home page hijacker.
    I think this file belongs to C:\Windows/Systems32/MFPlay.dll.
    Is it safe to keep it?
    Thank you

    I also ran a scan with SuperAntiSpyware and AntiMalwarebytes. Both did not detect anything.

    Broni,
    I did uploaded the file to the site you suggested.
    I think the file is not harmful.
    The result of the analysis:
    Publisher: Micorsoft Corp.
    Prduct: Micorsoft_Windows_ OS
    Description: Media Foundation PlayBack API DLL
    Original name: MFPlay.dll
    Thank you, Broni, for the link.

    I HAVE SEVERAL ANTI VIRUS AND ANTI SPY PROGRAMS AND THEY ALL (EXCEPT MCAFEE) SHOW MFPLAY.DLL AS A TROJAN.
    WHEN RIGHT CLICKING ON THE FILE AND CHOOSING PROPERTIES, THE INFO SHOWS IT IS 235K AND OWNED BY MICROSOFT.
    AS FAR AS KNOWING IF IT IS A PROBLEM OR NOT, I HAVE YET TO DETERMINE.

    MFPLAY.DLL - ATI Media File Player Module

    Important: Some malware camouflage themselves as mfplay.dll, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder.
