What is cool.dll?

[Shaan12]

Okay I installed Zone Alarm Firewall with defense module. And was doing my work. I am using Windows 7 x64 bit. And all of sudden I got a pop up saying "A Microsoft Process was trying to use cool.dll and it wasn't recognized as safe". I don't know what exactly is this Cool.dll. I am hearing this dll file for the first time. Is any one aware about this.? I hope this is not any virus or Trojan.

It could be the "Trojan.Downloader-Gen/Cool.Process" which is actually a spyware which processess "cool.dll".
I checked my system and searched for almost every dll file but did not see any file named "cool.dll". Or it is also possible that this is some part of Microsoft itself. Don't have much detail on this.!

Yeah even I searched my system for all the dll files, but didn't get any file named "cool.dll". I have Avast AntiVirus which I used and scanned my whole system but didn't get any virus or Trojan. So I am actually confused of what exactly is this dll file. I searched on google also but did not get any proper answers. I hope this is not any Malware or Spyware, which might be giving all my personal information to a third person. If anyone aware of this dll file then please reply.

Hey I searched on different sites and searched on google also. Got very limited information though. This "cool.dll" file is not any spyware or malware which is spying on you. Infact this dll file is a part of Microsoft(R) Plus! for Windows(R). And it works as a component of Microsoft FrontPage.
So you don't need to worry with this particular dll file. It is not causing any harm to your personal information or to your system also.

Hey thanks a lot for posting this very useful information. I was really very worried of what to do. I thought this might be some spyware which might be spying on my system and my daily activities on internet. Because I have all my credit card details on my computer. And I use Internet Banking service provided by almost all the banks. So I almost access my account of Bank through this Internet Banking.
Once again thanks for replying.
