if a trojan was running using shell32, replacing it will clear anything to do with it as it wont have anything to call any crap its left behind.

it'd only be if you had another trojan (which would hopefully get flagged by the AV) that itd be unsafe.

and if you backup all your data you could copy a virus over, so that'd potentially do nothing but waste time.

You could reset your firewall's software accesses and make it alert you to them all if you really wanna get paranoid.
