HijackThis O21 Entry?

Feanor23x · Sep 12, 2006

A little confused by the info for an O21 entry in HT.

The sticky says "HijackThis uses a whitelist of several very common SSODL items, so whenever an item is displayed in the log it is unknown and possibly malicious. Treat with extreme care."

Does this mean that every o21 entry should be fixed, or not?

Iv'e got "SSODL:WPDShServiceObj - {AAA288BA-9A4C-4580-95D7-94D524869DB5] - C:\WINDOWS\system32\WPDShServiceObj.dll" showing up in my log...

No! It means exactly what it says. It is unknown and should be checked out. You have to realize that new software and patches to existing software come out all the time. When HJT 1.99.1 was release WPDShServiceObj.dll (which is Windows Portable Device Shell Service Object) was unknown. Leave it alone! It is a require part of your Windows OS.
