Probably.....but you need to provide a heck of a lot more details than a
subject line.

Are you running *Norton* by any chance?

Harry.....*bho* usually means as browser hijacker.....has nothing to do with
running Norton.

To the original poster, wait for morning or go to one of the security ng's
for advice.....and give more details.

Actually one may infer the BHO.dll is a Browser Helper Object which is NOT the same as a
Browser HiJacker.

Thanks.......I realized that after I hit the sack and meant to clarify it.
I had two good ones on the old computer according to BHO Demon.....Spybot
and Acrobat, IIRC.  But it certainly was not Norton.

BHO.DLL is a spyware related file so if you have it on your computer
then you have a spyware infestation that needs to be cleaned up.

Go to MVP Jim Eshelman's Spyware Quick Fix page at
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm and follow the instructions there
to clean up your machine.

Good luck

Ron:

BHO.DLL can be traced to *App.Express*, it seems.
That might help narrow down the search.

I suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.

BHODemon
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm

Use the above first then please download, install and update the following software...

Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/

After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.

To find out MORE information on what BHO.DLL is, please submit a sample of  "BHO.DLL"  to
Virus Total --
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
The submission will then be tested against 18 different AV vendor's scanners.
That will give you an idea what it is and who recognizes it.  In addition, unless told
otherwise, Virus Total will provide the sample to all participating vendors.

When you get the report, please post back the exact results.

Based on the scant details in which you *didn't* provide.
It (may) be this;
<http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.iepagehelper.html>
Though unlikely, you, would be served running HijackThis and posting the log
to an expert Forum for analysis.

<canned reply>
Download and run HijackThis;
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip)
Read this Tutorial *before* first use;
(http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?showtutorial=42)
Once done > run HijackThis > save a scan log and post it to /any/ of the
following (expert) forums for analysis.
