Libeay32. dll; ssleay32.dll; netstat

Can anybody tell me if these files are part of Windows7, or if not what they are part of? I have found them in C:\users\my name.

If they are needed, is the presnt location the right one?

Actually I am wondering if they were part of the migration from my old XP computer and so superfluous.

Thanks for info. Are they where they should be?

The first two should be in c:/windows/system32 ... netstat is a command line tool and is fine where it is...

I've g0ot theses two DLL files on my system but one is in the Docs and settings folder and the Program Files folder and the other one is just in the Program Files!
If you haven't got a problem I would suggest just ignore them, "If it ain't broke, why fix it?"
