SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

I've run SFC a couple of times. It seems my files are all in tact. But I'm curious as to know just how it detects an inconsistency in a given module. To what does it compare the given file? Or is it some kind of CRC or hash check or something? I ask because it never asks me to load the original install media (which wouldn't help anyway if I've done system updates or service packs). Biggest worry is that a rootkit can be developed to circumvent it. I've had my battles with rootkits.

Thanks. :)

Ah right yes Iv'e done that, I learnt that a long time ago, Of course I might miss the odd one if I'm drunk etc. when I install em lol

Mag, I wondered that too, but didn't quite know how to ask that "intelligent" question.

I dont know if this is the right place for this but I am having a freaking terrible time trying to fix these .net problems with my computer. This is the result of my sfc /scannow log and I can't fix these issues at all:

Hello Metalcut, and welcome to Seven Forums.

See if doing what's listed in the blue Note box under step 4 in OPTION TWO may help. :)

Thanks for the welcome :)

I tried those steps. I had to download the iso image of windows 7 home premium from the linked site because its a refurbished dell that didn't come with a setup cd/dvd. The file mscorjit.dll is not a part of that iso file so I had to download that from a different site. I did replace the dot3api.dll with all of the take ownership commands and replaced it following the steps and it still didn't do anything. sfc /scannow STILL results in those 2 files being corrupt.
There are quite a few programs that use mscorjit.dll and right now I cant use any of them

I ran the readiness tool and it installed a hotfix. After I rebooted I did another sfc /scannow ( a couple more times actually) and the same files were still giving the same errors and the programs that need mscorjit.dll still will not run. I was really hoping to not have to repair/format win7 for 2 measly files.

What I really don't understand is I did a manual replacement of those 2 files (dot3api.dll and mscorjit.dll) and that still didn't work. why in the world would that fail?

The mscorjit.dll is the file that is killing me. I have a few programs that require that file and every time I try and start those programs I get the "cannot find mscorjit.dll" and the program closes with no other chance to open the program. I have uninstalled and reinstalled every version of .net I could find hoping it would fix.

edit: I have been running through Aaron Stebner's blog trying to find something that sticks.
