Hi, Method 1.Some wininet.dll errors could be related to a virus or other malware infection on your computer that has damaged the DLL file. It's even possible that the wininet.dll error you're seeing is related to a hostile program that's masquerading as the file.Sometimes the installed security program might not be just enough. I also recommend you to update your security software regularly. a. Follow the link below to run the free online scan:http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm b.
