Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum,
I read some threads and I think you guys may be the ones to help me with a problem I have. Ok, lets get started.
* I installed a new antivirus software who immediately discovered the worm Hybris.
* Quite a few files were infected, of whom particularly wsock32.dll. Unfortunately I deleted everything without asking too many question.
* When I rebooted, I got the error "An error occurred while trying to access the register. Windows will reboot and repair the register."
* After having restored the wsock32.dll from the cabfiles, I rebooted again. Oh, by the way, when registering (regsvr32) the file it said dllserverregister couldn't be exported or wsock32.dll could be corrupted.
* The problem is that after rebooting the error didn't disappear. It's there all the time.
* I tried scanreg /fix and /restore, but they don't work for me (they say they found an error in the registry). Also some different software as well as different versions of wsock32.dll.
I'm terribly afraid of having to reinstall windows (I don't have the cd where I'm at et.c.), so if anyone has any information whatsoever, don't hesitate to help a fellow 98er!
Thanx in advance,
Dag
