Question:Trend micro, microsoft scannow and defender all crash my machine scanning wpc.dll. How do I replace the corrupted file? ...Tks


Answer 1:Hello kilian99,



The System File Checker tool

To determine whether the issue that you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool scans system files and replaces incorrect versions of the system files by using the correct versions.

To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
  2. Right-click cmd in the Programs list, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue
  3. At the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER: sfc /scannow (yes there is a space after sfc)

    This scan may take some time to complete. After the scan is complete, reboot computer to and test to see if your issue was fixed. Hope this helps you. Let us know either way. Make it a great day!

Answer 2:Tks for the tip,

I had previously run sfc /scannow and it hangs my machine at the same point when scanning wpc.dll, as does defender and trend. All hang my machine at wpc.dll necessitating a reboot. There may still be another corrupted file as the scan is probably only 95% complete at this time.

Hello kilian99,



You may want to try this download (free) MalwareBytes from here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol install, update then do a scan of your system to make sure it is indeed clean. Once this is done, delete anything it finds. Hope this helps you. Let us know either way. Make it a great day!
