Illegal operation message comes up when trying to download
various programs off CNet using IE 6.0. The module is
<sockspy.dll>. Does anyone know how I can fix this file?
Also, whenever I navigate to Shockwave-enabled sites, the
same message appears but this time the module is
<unknown>. I've reinstalled the browser as well as the
Macromedia player, but still no luck. Any suggestions on
these issues?

Thanks,
Derek
 
I agree with Alan, but it may also be a new variant. This forum will help.

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads.php#det
