had to re-register initpki.dll
winxp sp3, ie7 ran avast full scan; malwarebytes full scan; no identified problems. A friend's computer stopped logging into secure sites. AOL email login gave the "site cannot be found" display. After checking the suggested security settings in ie7 which were all correct, I found that windows update would not work. The error was 0x800b001. A google search listed several dlls that should be registered. I did that, found that windows update worked, and the computer could access secure sites. A later search found that registering initpki.dll was probably the fix to access secure sites. My friend claims that all she did was access AOL email and several online shopping sites as she has been doing for months. Then the next day, she could not access any secured sites. I looked at her history and did not find anything strange. She did not install any programs. I do that because she does not know how. My question is how did initpki.dll become unregistered? What unregisters a dll? Can this be prevented? David |

Best thing to is to "practice" "Safe Computing" and have a good anti-virus system/ |
