Yeah, it's 4.0 & the file is valid: <http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/choose/windowssearch4.mspx?tab=Install It> I was refering to the actual windowssearch.exe file version. > > I would suggest a malware scan using Malwarebytes and Spybot: > http://www.malwarebytes.org/ > http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html > > I have SP3 and my mapi32.dll version is 1.0.2536.0.

Thanks for the suggestions... however the only malware in this case is SM replacing mapi32.dll in C:\windows\system32. It's quite simple to reproduce: 1. Put original mapi32.dll in system32 2. Reinstall SM 1.1.1x and watch SM replace the existing mapi32.dll with it's own, and rename the previous mapi32.dll to mapi32_Mozilla.dll. Doesn't get much simpler than that. Philip hit the nail on the head w/ <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109362> I'll pursue that one, thanks. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
