Hi, I am getting errors when i start my home Laptop computer. The errors are 1)"This application has failed to start because WININET.dll was not found" And when i try to open internet browser or weather channel on my desktop it gives the below error... 2)"Unable to load library wxfw.dll. Attempted to load C:\Program files\The Weather Channel FW\Framework\wxfw.dll.Err code:" I am able to open my files like Word etc, but unable to run any programs like ... Unable to access IE (Internet), unable to run antivirus software, etc. I heard there is a difference between a) "wininet.dll" that my laptop is missing and b) "WINNET.dll" which is a trojan. Please advice what to do to get back my Laptop working. Your help is very much appreciated

Try this: Go offline and disable your AntiVirus during this procedure. Click Start Click Run Type in CMD.exe Click OK A command prompt will appear. Type the following bolded commands into the command prompt: (lower case will work just fine) CD %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32 (note space after CD) (then press enter) DIR /A DLLCACHE\WININET.DLL (note space after DIR,/A)(then press enter) If the results show 1 file found, keep going, otherwise you will have to try another method. ATTRIB -S -R -H WININET.DLL (note space after ATTRIB,-S,-R,-H) (then press enter) REN WININET.DLL *.VIR (note space after REN,DLL) (then press enter) COPY /Y DLLCACHE\WININET.DLL (note space after COPY,/Y (then press enter) EXIT (then press enter) Now restart the computer.
