I downloaded, and installed the beta spyware software.
Upon successful installation I am now unable to access any internet functions. I get the following error, "Application failed to start b/c SPORDER.dll was not found. Re-installing Application may fix this problem." What do I do? |

I got the same error. However, it was after I removed
the spyware "Webharvester". The location of the file was shown to be windows\system32\sporder.dll. In restoring the computer and running a search I found two applications of sporder.dll. The second one was in the windows\temp\mcu9.tmp\. I could not find the file on the Windows XP install disk. So the question becomes how to reinstall that file? >-----Original Message----- >I downloaded, and installed the beta spyware software. >Upon successful installation I am now unable to access any >internet functions.

The problem started after my scan. I removed one
threat, "webhancer" located at c:\windows\system32 \sporder.dll. This threat level was judged to be severe. I am at my wits end. >-----Original Message----- >I got the same error.

I ran system restore to just before I downloaded the
spyware and it seems to have worked. >-----Original Message----- >samething happened to me. has anyone figured out how to >fix. can we download or copy that dll from somewhere. > >>-----Original Message----- >>I downloaded, and installed the beta spyware software. >>Upon successful installation I am now unable to access >any >>internet functions.

My brother just installed this and had the EXACT same
problem. ***How he fixed the problem: restored his computer with the last available restore point made before installing the software. Hopefully you have made one, and Windows will often make a restore point for you weekly/daily/or before installing software. (Go to the Windows help & support center on your computer--in the start menu main area) More info on sporder.dll: I did some research and found somewhat conflicting views. Sporder.dll is used by Windows XP and server for some internet functions (you obviously know this...). You should NOT delete sporder.dll, although many sites I went to identified it as having some relation to a spyware program called "WebHancer." WebHancer is a spyware program and should be removed in the add/remove programs area (if it is installed on your machine.) **SO, the bottom line, is this: 1) Restore your computer to a previous restore point (I hope you have one....) 2) Check add/remove programs for "WebHancer" and remove it that's it.....good luck >-----Original Message----- >I downloaded, and installed the beta spyware software. >Upon successful installation I am now unable to access any >internet functions.
