I have seen replies from Microsoft engineers but they have all been no help at all. What can I do to resolve this?

This type of DLL file is similar to EXE (“executable”) files, which allow multiple software programs to share the same functionality (eg. printing). DLL files exist outside of the software application itself. Although this provides many benefits for software developers, this separation also provides an opportunity for problems to occur. DLL file can be injected to all running processes and can change or manipulate their behavior. The program is not visible. Dnsapi.dll is a trustworthy file from Microsoft.
