As I open IE6 on my XPSP1 Pro there's a request for a wshfra.dll. With the
filemon tool, I saw that the explorer.exe process is involved.
This file is not present on my system (and I've not found any reference on
the web). The file is searched on all the user's defined paths.
What should I do to find what is requesting for that dll on my system ?

wshfra.dll is not an XP file.

Update your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

Do the same for whatever anti-spyware applications that you have.

I found one referrence...

ic-82190.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dwshfra.dll%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG


which tells us nothing.

wshFR.dll is related to coolwebsearch, a bad thing.

I would download and run these programmes in
Safe Mode.

Hi,
Thanks for these links, but I detect nothing with all the anti-spywares I
found (even the MS'S one).
Any other ideas ?

Based on the reply by Wes try this anti-spyware programme:
