Hello molly39 and welcome back to WTT.

In August you were helped by rshaffer61 but didn’t bother to reply. We all do this on a voluntary basis and most of us also have day jobs and families, so please be gracious enough to reply even if it is only to say that you no longer require help. Thanks


Air GCFG.exe is not a Windows file so is not critical. Likewise, wnicapi.dll is installed with programs such as D-Link. It appears that they are components of your wireless network card and, according to my research may not be necessary.

I could give you advice but this is the malware forum and I’m not qualified to give advice on networking issues. I could also “move” this post to the correct place but as it’s quite old, it may be overlooked in the other forum. I suggest you start a new topic and explain your dilemma in our Networking forum where the experts should be able to deal with this quite easily for you.

When this is resolved, if you suspect malware you should first read this and then start a new topic here.

Good luck with your computer problem but hopefully we should be able to sort things out for you.

Hello, Thank you for your email. I have posted a new topic on the networking forum. One further question. In the last few days ,when I open a new window I am then directed to a " survey " ?? I have also noticed that when I am surfing the net … words often are underlined , and if I place the mouse over these words advertising is then displayed. I hope this makes sense. Once again .. many thanks

Good. I'm sure they'll sort it out for you.

At worse, this is probably adware but if you like, we can run a couple of scans to check. See this and let me know how you get on.
