Winxp - kernel32.dll changed?

[Sanoka]

Hello everyone, not certain if this fits here or in software but here goes.

I ran spybot on the kids pc and it says that \system32\kernel32.dll has changed. Now can I download a new kernel32.dll and replace the changed one, will this solve the problem or just create another one?

I also have a registry key that has been changed and this was by My Web....don't know how to change this back

Thanks for all advice

Read this and see if anything applies to your problem.

Thanks DefConDelta, very good resource. I have an Emachine running winxp home and this appears only when I run spybot but as of yet does not seem to be affecting the functionality of the pc. I also get the registry has changed and this is associated with MyWeb...another download from the kids.

I was wondering if just leaving will be ok or should this be corrected?

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it. I think it's associated with Yahoo somehow.

Thanks for the reply, it seems to be working ok so I think I will leave it for now and see if anything else happens.
