It appears to be a real system file, but one with some funky coding in it. Read up here:

If you are running either Win 98 or XP. you can bring up MSConfig and see if there's something untoward starting from the registry. I'd run Adaware too, just for general maintenance reasons.

That file is a legitimate file - search the filename on Google for more information. If you are worried about spyware on your computer, go to the Lavasoft website and download Ad-aware Standard Edition.

Have you searched for anything from or including Gator Corporation?

Try ad-aware. The free version is pretty good.

the SHDOCLC.DLL is for sizing the Internet Explorer Windows. Do not delete this file! It is a needed Systems file.

However, I recommend: 1. Download and Install Ad-Ware from Javasoft.com.

2. Check your installed programs in Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel, look and see if Gator was installed. If you use Morpheus, then chances are you have it. Delete/remove Gator software.

3. Disable, Java...this will keep those pop-up down, also this will hinder your browsing experience.

Are you sure you aren't just visiting sites that contain a lot of popups (which is pretty much every site nowadays)?

Ad Aware is terrific at ferreting such garbage, as is "Spybot Search and Destroy". Run both, as each catches some things the other does not.

Also, a really fine Pop-up Blocker is "AdSubtract", a creation I understand of the fella who first brought us "Frogger."
