Seems like this DLL is legit - according to info found here and elsewhere..

What is a little suspicious though, is that I am unable to check box for deleting this file... There simply is no delete "box" available to check.

How come?

@Magnar: WLIDNSP.DLL is digitally signed by Microsoft, so it's very unlikely that this file contains malware. Therefore FreeFixer does not show a checkbox for deletion.

Is it possible that this could be another live id user connected to the main windows account?
