Ooops! 2 mysterious .ocx files

One of my file integrity checkers, "TinyWatcher", just posted an alarm stating that 2 .ocx files have been modified. The 2 files are:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\JE9I4EW5.ocx (modified on 3/22)
C:\WINDOWS\ULYP5O85.ocx (modified on 3/26)

My right-click-instigated check by Avast reports these 2 files are okay.

Even so . . .
I uploaded each of these 2 files to VirusTotal. Result: VT reports both are clean. ODDLY: both have exactly the same SHA256 hash.

REQUEST YOUR COMMENTS:

1- Two files with different file names but having the same hash! What gives, I wonder

2- The 2 files were modified on 2 different dates, respectively, within the past week. I haven't done anything, computer-wise, except surf. So . . . what kind of application would use &/or modify an .ocx file?

3- I checked these with VT & Avira. I wouldn't mind having a 3rd-opinion program. Does anyone know of another online virus checker that will check a single file, as does VirusTotal?

 

Hi, Tiny Watcher ! Yeah i liked it a lot when i had it on my 98SE comp

I wonder why if they were (modified on 3/22) & (modified on 3/26) you've only just been notified of them ?

They could be the same files, but with the names changed ?

If you right click on them, what does it say in "Properties"

You could rename them for now by putting for eg an x on the end of them, until you find out more about them

Regards

 

TinyWatcher has a reversible "disable" function. I have disabled them for now so that I can see what, if anything, is affected thereby.

 

Maybe check at http://www.isthisfilesafe.com/. Or use Reputation scan of Norton Power Eraser.

 

bellgamin,
ActiveX utility fromNirSoft
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/acm.html
displays .ocx names, date, who made it, and more. Perhaps you can find out more what it's about using their Find.

 

Probably Adobe Flash. Oh yeah, nice to see you back, bellgamin

 

Thanks! I checked that resource. It did not recognize the file. Also, I Googled hi & low & checked several links resultant therefrom. Zilch info.

Ah well -- those files are disabled so...
