deleting dll's?

[Gene Murphy]

Good Afternoon Everyone.

While running Sophos Antivirus I come up with a lot of files that can not be
scanned. Won't bother you with the whole list but for example...
C:\Winnt\Systeme32\webhits.dll

While certainly a novice and depend on this group for most everything I do ,
I do know that deleted .dll files if shared by another program can be a
disaster? Thus any advice on the about 30 of these files I found that Sophos
says are <corrupt> files and could not be scanned. Any and all help is and
will be appreciated.
Respectfully
Gene Murphy
