neoqaz2.dll. What is it?
I have COMODO Firewall, and whenever I opex xplorer2 the COMODO FW "Defense+" section always alerts me about a neoqaz2.dll file that is "unrecognized".
If I tell it to consider neoqaz2.dll a "trusted file" the next time I reopen xplorer2 we are at the same starting point with the same alert.
Infact I see that neoqaz2.dll (8 bytes) is modified everytime xpl2 is restarted, and so my poor COMODO always sees a new file.
Could you tell me if neoqaz2 can be deleted, and why it has this behaviour?
Thanks

Hi,
Here is from http://www.greatis.com/appdata/d/n/neoqaz2.dll.htm:
neoqaz2.dll - Dangerous
We suggest you to remove neoqaz2.dll from your computer as soon as possible.
Neoqaz2.dll is Trojan/Backdoor.
Kill the file neoqaz2.dll and remove neoqaz2.dll from Windows startup.
HTH.

it seems it is created by xplorer2.
So who is wrong and who is right?

My x2 Pro won't run without neoquaz2.dll so I would say it is required.
Nikos would have the authoritative word on it.
FYI - I uploaded it to http://www.virustotal.com/ where it was scanned by 44 different AV tools (including Comodo v6134) and all reported no issue with the file.
So I seriously doubt it being a trojan or any other form of mal-ware, and suspect that the folks at http://www.greatis.com are misinformed.

It's a hidden system file in the C:\WINDOWS directory on my XP/sp3 system, and likely on yours. (ditto on my w7 systems.)Robert2 wrote:I have xplorer² Pro installed on my Windows XP SP3 system. There is no “NEOQAZ2.DLL” on my system.

No doubt Nikos thoroughly enjoys us all having a good public discussion about rooting around in his DRM, but to the original question at hand: I cannot reproduce the OP's problem using Comodo (x64) - mine seems to happily ignore said file. Are your settings aligned to "Safe" or "Paranoid"? (No joke that, for those who don't use it - there really is a "Paranoid" setting. )
That said, I've found Comodo to be slightly less than predictable - for instance it seems to interfere with Listary's hooks (even when clearly trusted) for no apparent reason, rendering it useless, which I find rather annoying.

Given MS's recent public kerfluffle regarding DLL injections, people have become more sensitive to every little byte, here and there...nikos wrote:...how much risk could a few byte 'dll' be?
Ah, fair enough - I thought you were getting endless alerts relating to it, requiring attention each time.
I kind of stopped looking at the Unrecognised Files list after awhile, as it just tends to get overpopulated with every bloody temporary installer/extracted file known to mankind. Which is, to be fair, its raison d'être - but it can be overkill.
Incidentally, neoqaz2.dll doesn't even appear in my list.
