butterfly Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 This morning avg recognizes a "virus", wininet.dll. After i let avg solve the problem my system becomes unstable: explorer.exe stops working. Luckily i can still start firefox with the taskmanager so i go to www.dll-files.com and replace the file. On restart explorer.exe keeps restarting every 3 seconds, damn. So I dig up my windows cd to replace the file with the one on the disk, now windows refuses to replace the file claiming it's in use. Anyone has any suggestions how i could solve this problem? qwb,

Pidesco Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Try replacing the file using the cd's command line recovery thingie.

metadigital Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Yeah, the file is busy, correct? You need to get into a command line ... alternatively a good Antivirus / Anti-spyware application should be able to complete the task, too. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Diamond Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 No i can not replace or delete wininet.dll, that's the problem. qwb, Boot in safe mode. Or try using Process Explorer to kill the processes that hold the file.
