Well that is pretty conclusive with 16 thinking there is something wrong with it.

http://www.free-codecs.com/reviews/Storm_Codec.htm if this dll came packaged as part of a codec then depending where you downloaded the codec there is a high possibility you could get an unwelcome gift… A search for free screen savers Or free codecs are frequently high risk of getting a trojan, this seems to be a common tactic.

Since the file name stormupd.dll I think could be an update ‘upd’ process, that could be used to download things other than updates for storm codec. If that is what this relates to the storm codec, I can’t see why a codec needs an update function. These things I would have thought don’t need regular updates, like a video driver if it works you leave it alone.

It may be that because of what it can do it may have been flagged as a downloader/agent/trojan, but with this amount of detections I would seriously consider if I wanted the thing (codec or whatever) on my system.

The choice has to be yours, but you have to ask yourself, why would disabling updates (e.g. moving this file to the chest) stop a media (?) player working. You could choose to add it to the exclusions, but that isn’t something I could recommend, certainly not without much more investigation and most of the search hits are in simplified Chinese that isn’t possible for me.
