Okay, last question. Can anyone tell me if there is a SAFE way to restore
missing dll files?

Thanks.

Hi,
Either, by searching your Machine for them and copy and paste then to where
needed. Or running a check disk sometimes can correct the issue or reinstall
the app which these dlls belong too.

For missing or corrupt system files use the
"System File Checker" utility. It will ask for
a Windows CD if it finds any files that need
to be replaced.

Enter into the Run box:
sfc.exe /scannow

And the names of these mystery dll files are?

If you want accurate advice you're going to have to provide the name of the
files that are missing. Often times people will post to these newsgroups
asking about an error message they receive at startup about missing dlls.
Turns out that one of the security programs installed on their system has
deleted the file because it is malware. Unfortunately, the mechanism that
launched this malware is still in place. Thus the error message.

I have 4 files quarantined right now in Trend Micro Internet Security. They
are: 1. IDPSig.zip located in C:\\WINDOWS\system32\ 2. IDPimmData.dll in
C://WINDOWS/system32 3. and 4. A0048359.dll in C:\System Volume
Information\restore{C099B62C-36AA-4956-B829-4984D8D15F2}\RP208\

My Trend Micro Internet Security expires tomorrow and I've tried cleaning
these files several times, to no avail. I don't want to restore them and put
a virus back into my computer, but I'm afraid that if I delete some of these
files, my computer won't work anymore.

Thanks
