winsock.dll still restores

I have a great problem with calling IE and was told to accept
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\winsock.dll and rename
c:\windows\system32\winsock.dll.
But after every renaming I just get a new winsock.dll. What to do?
 
Why do you want to delete the Winsock.dll file?

winsock.dll is a protected Windows system file, and will be replaced
immediately after you delete it.
 
For two reasons.
1. I had a problem receiving Office Oulook emails. MS-Help told me to look
for versions of winstock.dll, winsock32.dll, wsock.vxd and wsock32.wxd. Files
found in C:\Windows\System32\dllcache was OK, but I had to rename files found
in C:\Windows\System32. This advice gave me back my email.
2. Now I have a new problem. I have my email without renaming! But instead I
can not start IE after having it opened-closed. To succeed I have to restart
my pc from a safety catch/piont (? Don't know the right word - I'm Danish).
And renaming gives, as You write, immediately a replacement.

pauli,

If I understand correctly, you're unable to open a second instance of
Internet Explorer while in a logon session? Have you scanned for Malware and
viruses?
 
Ramesh,
Thanks for your help so far.
I have no problem in opening a second web-site while IE is open. The problem
is: I can re-open IE (or any other web-site) after haveing IE closed, unless
I restart my pc from a 'safety catch/piont'.

pauli,

Run these malware cleaners:

1. Ad-Aware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com

2. SpyBot S&D
http://www.safer-networking.org

3. CWShredder
http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshredder_download.html

Update 1 & 2 before running a scan.

Additional points:

Disable 3rd party browser extensions to determine if the problem is caused
by add-ons.

1. Click Start, Run, type Control Inetcpl.cpl.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Under Browsing, click to clear the Enable third-party browser extensions
(requires restart) check box.
4. Restart Internet Explorer.
 
Well, dear Ramesh,

I have now, delaied by lots of program-reading/learning, carried out point 1
and 2 in your plan and have allready a solution to my problem. But I will
carry on through point 3 to see what happens.
Thanks for your help - so far.
