How do you get rid of wininnet.dll virus?

Answer 1

First you need to find out what this dll file has attached itself to. If you go to run and enter procexp then hit enter. Go to find dll or handle and enter wininnet.dll. It will show you the processes and handle that it is attached to. Right click on the process and kill the process if it's not a necessary process for your computer to run. Then you can delete that dll. If it's something like Winlogon or Explorer (which I just dealt with), then you will need to right click on the process and go to properties. Listed under the threads will be all the dll's associated. You will need to right click and kill every instance of the wininnet.dll. You will also need to right click on the handle and kill that process. Then you should be able to delete or move that dll to another location. If you can't delete it, simply move it to a new folder. I created a "virus" folder in My documents. Then rebooted and was able to delete that dll damed virus. Good luck.
