I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

I found a file in c:/Users/name/AppData/Local called shanjou.dll

I noticed it when I ran msconfig and had a look through why my startup was taking a long time and this is where I noticed an entry for RunDll32 being executed against shanjou.dll

I ran a few searches on the name but nothing came up. MS Security Essentials doesn't detect anything wrong with it. What should I do next? I have already moved it out of it's location into my own self-made quarantine folder.

Try to upload it to virustotal.com . It will get scanned by 44 different antivirus products. Normally some of the scanners should find it...

This is an interesting question.

You can't really install another AV program as they often conflict with each other, may be having to uninstall one for another isn't a desirable option.

There are online tools, McAfee used to also let you download a program like Stinger which I've had some success with when sharing this with other AV programs. The question arises of why you should have to, especially if you had paid for an AV.

You also need to be careful of false positives.

That could be anything to do with anything, but its good to check it out to be on the safe side. You can upload files you think are suspicious to Kaspersky via this how to guide http://www.ehow.com/how_8528328_submit-files-kaspersky-lab.html
