| Then no. I'd say have sex with an empty PCI slot but you probably used all those on shitty audio cards. | |

| This might just do more damage, but I'm going to guess it's a Windows .dll file needed to operate certain Windows functions.. so maybe try to get the wininet.dll file, do a search on google about it, figure out where it should go, and put it there.
It's up to you to try it. | |

i got PC Doctor Bug or something and fixed 442 errors. then with PC MightyMax it found 1346 problems, but since it was trial version, it only fixed 30 errors. none of which seemingly helped me. i tried running in safe mode, but same crap happens. i hafta use task manager. it wont let me run spybot or norton. .....
i've been searching google and downloaded wininet.dll any suggestions of where to drop the file?

| ah, all is well now.
if any1 else has this problem, search google and download WININET.dll
go to My Computer > C: > Windows and System32. Drop it in the WINDOWS, I386, and the I386>System32 | |

| Ah, the good old spyware-that-disguises-itself-as-a-legitimate-file-and-the-spyware-remover-is-too-stupid-to-ignore-it trick. 
I'll go and see what problems cause this.* | |

| after i got my computer back to normal, i ran spybot. Spytbot found AlfaCleaner with 4 entries. (alfa cleaner is the mysterious spyware that installed itself on my computr. 9MB of it) I noticed this on my comp and i was like wtf. minutes later my desktop became an advertisement for alfacleaner and i knew somethin wasnt righ. so i uninstalled it, restarted computer, then it caused this whole WININET.dll problem. AlfaCleaner = bad | |
