Hello malware fighters,
When confronted with a malware infection, and on analyzing files and processes on an infecting machine, you must know what are the good files, the bad files, and the ugly files. You could search a fileadvisor. But here you can find another information storehouse:
http://www.fileresearchcenter.com/applicationlist.html?listtype=SPYWARE&category=m
There are more resources on the Internet to gather this information, complete with checksums. Remember where the file resides, a normal looking file or dll in the wrong place can be malicious. A malware file can parade as a normal file, if you are not able to read the full extension endings, so you are fooled in opening a possible dangerous file extension (and there is quite a range of them, see here:http://antivirus.about.com/od/securitytips/a/fileextview.htm
).
OK. Yet again the the other link, put it into your favorites:
