Hi,
Delete these files:-
C:\new.exe
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\guardian.dll
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\hookDLL.dll
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\r_process.dll
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\CONFLICT.2\on-line.exe
C:\WINDOWS\ms2.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\backup.old
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dktibs.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\paydial.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\webdlg32.inf
C:\WINDOWS\system32\winsx.inf
C:\WINDOWS\webdlg32.cab

And, next go to Start > Run and type regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wininet.dll and press ENTER key. After this, restart the system. Check whether you receive the "Wininet.dll missing" errors, and post back the results.

Hi,
Yes, you can try deleting them in safe mode. If they dont get delted, then you can use KillBox to delete them.

(In KillBox, select the options "End Explorer while killing file" and "Standard file kill" and then provide the path of the file to be deleted and click the button with a Cross mark to delete the file)

Hey,

Got the files deleted in Killbox and I followed the steps you told me to. Im still getting the errormessage about the misssing wininet.dll.

I have downloaded wininet.dll from www.dll-files.com, is it just a matter of putting it in its right place?

Thanks for sticking with this computer caveman.

Hi,
Lets use the built-in System File Checker feature first to check and restore the system files. Go to Start > Run and type:-
sfc /scannow
and press ENTER key. This brings up the SFC dialog box which scans the PC for altered/missing system files and restores the original one.
(Note that there is a SPACE between sfc and /)
You can get more info on SFC here : http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html

Hi,
Copy this text C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache and paste it in the "Address bar" of My Computer and press ENTER key. This should open the dllcache folder in System32 directory. Here, there will be a backup of Wininet.dll file, copy this and paste it in C:\Windows\System32 folder. Restart the PC, and check if the error occurs or not.

:oops: Sorry, try pasting the DLL file downloaded from the website, and restart the PC, and check whether the error reoccurs.
