Re: File not disinfected: C:\WINDOWS\System32\dnsapi.dll

Hello,

Can you do the following to look for "dnsapi.dll" files on your computer ?

  • Download SEAF : https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/155-seaf/
  • Right-click on the icon -> Execute as Administrator.
  • In the search field, type "dnsapi.dll".
  • Then, start the search. A report will open when the search is over (it contains the search results). Please share it here.

Best regards,

File not disinfected: C:\WINDOWS\System32\dnsapi.dll

As the title suggests. I believe this virus is responsible for Windows Defender not being to update its definitions or run at all. Log:

Re: A whole lot of damage

Thanks for your reply. There was one more thing that wasn't working that I forgot to mention, the HP Simple Pass fingerprint reader for logging in. There may have been more. Fortunately I did have a system image, and I restored everything. I have to say I was more than surprised that 18 items were flagged for deletion, I have MalwareBytes and AntiExploit Premium running, I am very picky when it...
