Webcheck.dll?

Anyone know why this file is loading from the reg? Do I need it?

It is MS's "Web Site Monitor", but after a KB search and googling, that is
all I found out. It is on an NT4 Wkstn - SP6a - w/ IE6 SP1 & active
desktop, not hosting anything at all.

TIA
 
Hi greg,

Found this information on:

FYI: My IE5 gripes have a section on webcheck.dll and
loadwc.exe. A reader (Kevin) wrote with an update on this
for IE6. On Windows 2000 with IE6 SP1 and no subscription
to web sites, he found webcheck.dll was running at boot
time. This was shown with the free autoruns program from
SysInternals. A startup key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServic
eObjectDelayLoad\
includes webcheck.dll which shows that the program is
autoloaded. It does not appear in the Task Managers
process pane. He deleted the startup entry for
webcheck.dll with no ill effect. May 16, 2003.

Hope it helps !
 
Thanks JR! That is put near my exact situation, I just don't like hitting a
blank wall. The only "subscriptions" I have are here in the MS newsgroups.

Thx again.
