dssenh.dll is a trojan?

The Avast! Boot-time scan gave the following three messages:

“File C:\Windows\ServicePackfiles\i386\dssenh.dll is infected by Win21:Trojan-gen {other}. Moved to chest.”

“File C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\e9500597a78495f397efb821e37bf386\dssenh.dll is infected by Win21:Trojan-gen {other}. Moved to chest.”

“File C:\Windows\system32\dssenh.dll is infected by Win21:Trojan-gen {other}. Moved to chest.”


This was reported on a reformatted computer with programs reloaded from scratch. From research, I think that the dssenh.dll is related to Cryptographic Services and is a legitimate Microsoft file. Could this be a false positive and should the dssenh.dll be restored?

Are you fully updated ?

Yes. Avast automatically updates.

What I mean is,if you are using vps (090425-0) or later,you should hopefully no longer detect dssenh.dll as a threat

It’s a FP.
