recently, I was browsing for computer’s folder and I saw a file that I don’t know what is it, they’re called “lametritonus_en.dll” and “lame_enc_en.dll”. That is a spyware or it’s a file of adobe system, I got installed the Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Flash Professional, and recently I deleted the Adobe Flash Catalyst and other programs of Adobe, I think that file is of adobe system, someone can help me? about this question?

Those files seem to be related to the “lame” codecs. As you can see from the VT results, they seem to be clean.
Whether you could potentially delete them or not, I have no idea. It would depend on the exact location of those files, if they are still being used by some tool still installed in your system, or some remnant of some already-uninstalled tool.
Personally, I’d leave them there, unless you REALLY know what you are doing.
so if the antivirus says there’s no virus, so I leve them there.
Your VT report says it
so I leave them there.
That’s what I would do if I don’t know what exactly is going to happen if I delete them.
You could make some tests, but for just 2 files? If they are in an expected folder, leave them. If they are in a very strange folder, test what would happen (by moving them to a different folder, rebooting and running the possible programs that might be needing them).
For just 2 innocent files (according to VT), too much time to waste in testing, IMHO, so I’d leave them there anyway. It’s your call.
They are loose in the folder Computer User (C:\Users\Lucas)
Note: I am using windows 7.
I deleted them, nothing happened, I rebooted the system and the files dont came back. It should be the lame codecs, but I already deleted. I guess when I use the program that use that it should come back.
Well, they shouldn’t had been in that location anyway, so if any program need them, it would have request them anyway. They arrived to that location by some strange mistake.
It should be relatively easy to download the codec again, in case you need it. So, everything is fine now.
