winsock2.exe

[mcasey]

I get the following message after I logon to my windowsXP
computer:
"Windows cannot find the winsock2.exe. Make sure you
typed the name correctly, and try again. To search for a
file, click the start button, and then click search.

Can anyone help me get rid of this message or understand
where it came from

Thanks....

Windows XP doesn't have a file named "winsock2.exe". It's possible
that your computer has a virus or other malicious program. Run a full
antivirus scan with the latest virus definitions. Run a spyware
remover such as Ad-aware.
