    Sven,

    I was wondering if you could provide a little more
    information that might help narrow this baddy down a
    bit...

    Caught? You mean he just found the file?

    > As I didn't find any references to it via google,

    Not surprising, but thanks for saying that you looked.

    What are some of the "well known other parts", and how
    do you know that they're "dropped" by this DLL?

    Where did you check, specifically? Did you check
    specific keys (if so, which ones?) or did you just
    search the Registry for the DLL name?

    > and searching all

    Searching all files on disk? What does that mean?
    Did you look for the DLL name within files, or did you
    search for the file name itself?

    Could it be that the DLL was called by one of the EXE
    files mentioned in the logfile you posted? Did you
    happen to find those files, too?
