What is msapsspc.dll

[Ricky58]

I am using Windows Vista on my computer. I have recently installed Microsoft Office 2007 on my computer. After I can see msapsspc.dll file on system folder. Can anyone explain me what is msapsspc.dll used for?

Msapsspc.dll is a legal component of Microsoft FrontPage. And as you might know Microsoft FrontPage is a part of Microsoft Office 2007. Do not remove this file. Microsoft FrontPage this file in order to function properly. It is not a virus. But if your antivirus software detects it as a virus then that definitely belongs to some other file with similar name.

I was asking about this dll file because I am facing some serious issues with my Internet Explorer. Many a times I get a "Access denied." error message when downloading some files on IE. In Event Viewer, msapsspc.dll is found to be causing the problem. How can I fix this?
