Solve : quarantined a file now cant do anything need pics?

Answer» OK I am newbie to this forum. HI
NOt totaly stupid but dont always use right vocab.

Hp pavilion - windows ME Nortons, works and internet

I got a pop up from norton that said could not repair file. I dont remember what else it said but it stopped something from happening. In the past these have been nothing I just said sure quarantine it.

Well I am sure it was this windows\system\wininet.DLL
and that is the file I keep getting a MESSAGE saying it cant be found and nothing works without it. Not even nortons.
cant get on net cant open pics. can play games??  

So without acces to norton I could not get it out of quarantine. realy realy want ot save some pics. but cant figure out how. I have tried application recovery disk but it wont load just get a blank box.

I also get "Lexplore caused an error in urlmon.DLL"  

Safe mode would not let me do anything either. I lost track of what I was doing and uninstalled works and reinstalled it so that probably killed my chance of getting the quarantine file but I dont know these things.

I am will ing to use my system restore disk but want the pics at LEAST before I do.  I think I picked up a trojan

ThanksFree SCANNER at www.trendmicro.com might be worth a try. Other free software for virus and trojans is frequently listed here. Look for one of Mac's posts.thanks but I cannot get on the net. cant open anything it always says that file is missing.Do you have the original Windows or restore CD's for reinstallation if it comes to that?


Lot's of interesting info with a google search for wininet.dll, and some products to buy (not).

If it were me I would just reformat and reinstall a seriously compromised system such as this. Others may post suggestions for a fix which may or may not work in the long run.yes i just found the set of restore cd's.

I would try the appliction first and see if I can find the what happened. the thing is most importatnt to us is  that we get the pictures off first. If i reformat they will be lost forever.

That is what we hoped to find out, and then almost as important is ,what went wrong and how to fix it. I use spybot and use it often and the 2 nortons which said it could not fix plus it got  by them to get me in the first place, right?

So I need to know what got in and what to do about it.  Seems like the first window said it was a trojan and norton could not fix it. So if it is a trojan which one??? anybody know?  who is the best free trojan killer??papason3......  Norton was designed to find viruses ........not trojans , however it identifies some trojans but is unable to remove them ........D/L Ewido and let it SCAN your system .......( make sure you get the latest updates ) It should find your trojans .......

dl65  well I dont remember just what I tried, but after another reboot I could get up my browser.

then shortly later could not but still had connection because I could do updates for nortons and spybot. Go figure maybe it makes sense to somebody. after hours of trying lots of stuff some 2 or 3 times I uninstalled Nortons internet security and reinstalled it and viola!! back up again. Thanks for the help and interest.

NEW QUESTION Ewido is only for XP and 2000 I use ME. Got a suggestion for me.?
