OK, just to confirm... the "winupd.dll" is spyware. It's the "set fire to the house" recipe card which has been deleted, so you have to make the request to load it go away to stop the error.

So don't do anything to attempt to reinstall winupd.dll... anything that would succeed in doing that would be a reinstallation of the spyware that you wanted to get rid of in the first place...

---------------

2) "wincore.dll" is the same deal as above, I think even part of the same spyware application. Don't try to reinstall anything to get it back.

Take a break! Just hold on to the error messages for now... they are a good thing because it means the spyware is not loading when it is trying to. We'll work on getting rid of the errors after your break

Also just wanted to confirm, were you able to successfully find and delete the winhost32 file? (Any or all of them?)

In case the instructions I gave were confusing before, regarding the task manager... Suppose you want to delete the winhost32 DLL card from the recipe card box, but when you try to do so you can't (i.e. find the file, hit delete, and get an error message). This could be because your husband has the winhost32 DLL card in his hand and he is using it right now because some recipe called for him to use it. If it is in his hand, you can't delete it from the recipe card box.

Task manager shows you all of the cards that are in his hand. If you find the winhost32 card in there, you can select it, click "end task" and that takes it out of his hand and puts it back into the box. Then you can go back into the box and delete it without getting an error.

If you can find that file and delete it without getting an error message then there is no need to find it in task manager.

Of course if something tells the mister to go get that card again, then he's going to start whining again. If we are really lucky, winhost.exe might be the thing telling him to go find winupd.dll which is causing all the whining. Hopefully, again if we are lucky, deleting winhost.exe will cause that to stop without generating a different message complaining about winhost...
