About the windows file protection feature and dllcache:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...roduct=win2000
Briefly:
How the WFP Feature Works
The WFP feature provides protection for system files using two mechanisms. The first mechanism runs in the background. This protection is triggered after WFP receives a directory change notification for a file in a protected directory. After WFP receives this notification, WFP determines which file was changed. If the file is protected, WFP looks up the file signature in a catalog file to determine if the new file is the correct version. If the file is not the correct version, WFP replaces the new file with the file from the cache folder (if it is in the cache folder) or from the installation source. WFP searches for the correct file in the following locations, in this order:
The cache folder (by default, %systemroot%\system32\dllcache).
The network install path, if the system was installed using network install.
The Windows CD-ROM, if the system was installed from CD-ROM.
AVG is very good, especially for free.
