Security problem - Norton found WSOCK32.DLL

[StanC]

This site is fantastic. I had the W32.BADTRANS.B@MM BUG and found several people talking about just that - and ways to cure it. Great.

I now have another computer in which Norton AV found an infected file: WSOCK32.DLL.
Anybody know what this is and how to cure it? Is this a system file that is needed or can it be deleted?

You should find what you need there.

It's a system file and it needs to be replaced by a clean version.
See you at the thread Davey's already pointed out to you..
