    Ok, so i come into work this morning and every PC on the network is infected with ADW_APROPOS.51 , as trend micro called it. If anyone has any info on what this is and how to get rid of it please let me know. It dropped itself in the system32 folder and the filename is ATL.DLL .

    It was a false positive done by trend micro... the file is actually a needed system file.
