Shdocvw.dll is a perfectly harmless file. Unfortunately, the Bofra.A mass-mailing worm can exploit it. It creates random filenames with 8 characters ending in 32.exe. These files would appear in your Windows\System or System32 folder. You may see the files described as "reactor3", "center" or "rhino".
