My firewall (Comodo) informed me wbsys.dll was trying to access the internet. There's no reason for it to access the internet, it's only for making Windows look different.

its quiet safe only skins windows, can slow windows down hud be left alone
richie07

It is used in WindowBlinds, but somehow my Comodo Personal Firewall is acting weird and won't let me access the net once I allow the file to be allowed

Windows Blinder Files for theming xp remove it if u dont have the software waste of space but need it if the software is there

Uninstalled it because it always was slow to end (kill) or lagged when shutting down Windows.

Windows XP Desktop enhancer. When you uninstall it, it leaves a lot of .dll files behind which can slow down your system. Autorun startup initialization dll , Delete through Autoruns Process Utility if you don't have Window Blinds installelled on your system

No security risk, its a process related to WindowBlinds. It does hook onto other applications, but remove if you no longer got WB installed.
AMcGivney

I do not, nor have ever had WB installed on my computer and this file was picked up by my virus scanners as dangerous, and it caused World of Warcraft to have a fatal error. Even "legit" files can be hacked and altered to malicious extent. This is clearly no exception.
J Mundorff

Might be for Windows Blinds, personally I wouldn't know as I have NEVER had that program installed, and yet this file has been confirmed by my computer to be causing a crash in several other programs that I do use. Legitimate name or not, this can be deployed as malware.
