WebCheck File not found: %system%\webcheck.dll scanned with autoruns, everything runs good in IE without it by me.

If the file is an old version in relaction your Explorer version, it will give you lots of problems. Page faults are the biggest. Just replace file with correct version and all is well.

This file is part of the mechanism that keeps up-to-date local copies of the Web pages that you chose to make available offline. It is backed by WFP, and thus an unlikely security risk. If you do not use offline Web page caching and want to avoid overhead connected with this file, better use e.g. Mark Russinovich's Autoruns from sysinternals.com rather than delete this file.

Its a regular HKLM that should be in your autostart list usually with a delay. As Roger said if its in SYS32 it belongs.

windows or internet explorer will not function correcly? rated 5 becuase i don't understand it therefore it is dangerous

If your not running a server, you shouldn't need it. I removed it by starting in safe mode and renaming the DLL file. So far no problems.

Webcheck is stupid. Its an MS module thats sole purpose is to integrate a web page as your desktop background. "Active Desktop" is what it is called. If you do not use Active Desktop then you should follow this link, then decide for yourself.
