Doing a system scan and AVG has picked up MiniClipGameLoader.dll as being a trojan downloader. I seem to remember this thing being discussed before, but a search finds nothing. Googling it seems ambivanlent as to whether it's dodgy or not.

Should I delete it?

(Not even sure how I got it, TBH. I dont remember dowloading any games from miniclip)

Perhaps this is linked to your click-too-soon actions :)

Heh, that's why I'm doing a scan. I think this dll was already in place though, TBH.

Anyway, AVG has decided to delete it without asking me. :P

That's an old file left over from when they used to use the Retro64GameLoader.
On September 1, 2006, the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team issued an advisory concerning Miniclip.[8]. "The Retro64 / Miniclip CR64Loader ActiveX control contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. This may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. ... Although the ActiveX control is no longer in use by either retro64.com or miniclip.com, any system that has used certain pages of these web sites in the past may be vulnerable." None of these reports showed any hostile activity.


The plugin they use now is pretty damn secure. http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/igloader.com/downloads/3012993/
