Mystery wpclsp.dll DLL

[markbyrn]

When running Hijackthis, I received the following:

Unknown file in Winsock LSP: c:\windows\system32\wpclsp.dll

Anybody know what wpclsp.dll is for? Perhaps it's new to Vista but a
search shows little to nothing about it. The properties reveal it's
registered to Microsoft as a WPC (?) LSP (Layered Service Protocol)?

I would be extremely careful about running older programs like HJT in
Vista. HJT log interpretation takes a lot of skill to start with (and
I'm not dissing your mad skilz since I don't know what they are) and
Merijn hasn't redone HJT for Vista. Some Googling around indicates that
this file is probably part of Vista.

Unless you have some other reason to suspect that your computer is
infected, I wouldn't worry about it.
