Default What dlls belong in c:\windows\system32

I have a dll in the system32 directory that I feel does not belong there.

I would like to find out which ones should be there.

I found this, but it is no longer available.

DLL Help application

I posted this on a M.S. forum, but it is set up differently than other forums and I could not find my way back to where I posted.

I am looking for some newsgroup that could give more detailed help.

Thanks.

That's impossible to say. Many applications place dlls there. Every
system will be different. I currently have 2,746 of them in that
location. I don't think listing them all would be useful information.

I know there is a list of what Windows uses and places there on installation and upgrades.

There is also documentation for other areas of interest, but it's limited to educators and other professionals.

There may be a way to see which installed user programs place dlls there and maybe determine by process of elimination.

The dll contained 2 code caves, which have legitimate uses and non-legit.

I doubt that there is. Which of the dozens of versions of Windows?
Which Service Packs are preinstalled? What features are enabled? What
hardware is installed? What 3rd-party addons are installed? Etc, etc.
Any such list you may find is sure to be massive and unreliable.

Here's a list all the dlls in my system32 directory. All of them are
supposed to be there. Have at it:

All Win32 dll go in to your system32

From games to Software

From Microsoft to Apple

All in between



Now if you have a dll you know not

post the dll name and we will help you

get the Info you need to know


Thanks.

The name of the file is pkiviewt.dll and it was in the system32 directory.
_

Note the t before .dll. After this was deleted, my problems went away.

I just ran M.S. security scanner and it came up clean, but it could not scan the dll because it's in a Linux partition.

I just rebooted from running Linux on a dual O.S. system.

Never had any virus/rootkit or malware.

I am getting a rather annoying popup box from Comcast saying it found a bot.

It's better to rename problem files than to delete them entirely,
because it may turn out that one has misidentifed the problem, and he
wants the file back later. Maybe that's what had happened here,
someone added a t (for temporary?) to see how the computer would work
without pkiview.dll. Does anyone fiddle with the computer besides
you?

The name of the dll that ends in t is what I deleted from the windows/system directory from within XP.

It was marked as a system file, so I could not delete it from within Windows.

I booted to my OpenSuse O.S. and renamed it to pkiview.xxx to prevent it from being used and to study it later and moved it to a Linux hidden partition.

I am happy that it is not causing any more problems, but would like to find out the mechanism of how it was copied or created in the system32 directory.

Andy do did it right that way

But a DLL need a extension denoting an executable the file

So there more files to the Software
For if The pkiviewT was
in the system32
it has been backup

You need too run Registry Editor
@
C:\WINDOWS\system32\regedt32.exe
Highlight My Computer First

You see a Tab bar

Click Edit
Click Find
Find What "pkiviewt"

http://mynews.ath.cx/temp/pkivewt/
regist01.gif
regist02.gif
regist03.gif

On the lift Side of regedt32
you see folders names
we need to know the name

When running Windows
up plug it from the Internet

only use the Internet
with your Linux partition

and give us the info from regedt32
so we came help you clean your PC
