Wininet.dll is a system file. Not recommended you delete it. So, don't do it!

I am not "allowed" to give you malware advice. But someone will probably come by and ask you to post in the Malware forum.

Is it on you r98 or xp?

[coachwife6]

Upload a copy of wininet to thespykiller. Label the topic '(either xp or 98)wininet'. thumbsup.gif

Just go to the Uploads section and start a new topic, click the browse button and navigate to and select the file, then add subject and a link to this topic and post.

1. Is it on a 98 machine or your xp machine?
2. Find the wininet.dll file on your machine and then go to this site:

http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/forum/

Go to the Uploads section and start a new topic and upload a copy of your wininet.dll to the link.

Label the topic either:

98 wininet.dll
or
xp wininet.dll

(It depends if it's on a 98 machine or an xp machine)

[Gween]

I said on my first Post it was on XP.

[coachwife6]

I apologize. Please label it wininet xp

I said on my first Post it was on XP.

[Gween]

ALSO, My DISPLAY SETTINGS only have tow tabs, Screensaver and Resolution..WHAT GIVES?

So I cant change my Wallpapers.

Hello, this is a pretty nasty trojan that tries to trick you into downloading a program PS guard. I am having trouble with it myself, I hope I can get it fixed myself now after much reading on the net.

Some info here that may help:

http://www.antivirus...s/smitfraud.php

Here somebody with the same problem, infected wininet.dll and trojan dynamic linked libraries oleadm.dll, oleadm32.dll and a trojan program intel32.exe are the main culprits that you have to get rid of. Wininet.dll is a Windows systemfile, you cannot simply delete it, you must get a clean copy of it from your backup files after you have removed the trojans. With antispyware software that this victim is using it is easier to see what exactly is infected.

http://forums.spywar...t=

You have to know what you are doing if you want to get rid of it, and make new entries in the Registry etc. so maybe it is best to post in a specialized forum. My system is with Windows 98, so I'm afraid I can't give you exact instructions on how to get rid of it on a Windows XP computer.

Success, Eelco

well i have the same problem you do, on an xp like you. i just went to that link posted above: http://www.antivirus...s/smitfraud.php

and read that it adds a registry key, so i went to start run, typed in regedit.exe and navigated to the exact key that it said this software/virus adds, at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Uninstall\ Internet update
and i deleted the whole [bleep] thing. this seemed to solve about a third of my problem, but never the less it is still improvement. it got my desktop back to normal and under the properties on the desktop all the tabs have come back. i still have no internet connection, and am unable to even ping my modem. if you find anything else out about the other problems, like why is the anti virus software i had installed still telling me that it is unable to repair the w32.desktophijack file and that the wininet.dll is still infected. but yeah let me know please if you come up with anything. thanks,

If I am having the same problem, do I add my post here or do I post a new thread topic?

Windows XP Home
Symantec Antivirus is picking up that the wininet.dll is infected with W32.Desktophijack.

A bit of history.

I managed to get rid of intell32.exe and ps guard and a host of other spy ware.

Spy sweeper found 225 things.
I just installed Adaware SE Pro. Should I run that?

This thing is pain. And it's not even my computer.

Thanks

BTW: I have posted my wininet.dll file in the forum where you said to post it and pointed back to this thread.

Edit to my post.
I'm pretty comfortable editing .dll's and the registry. Can't I just remove the NUL-C:\program files\mywebssearch\bar\1.bin\mwsoestb.dll and mwsoemon.exe code lines?
