After infection and deletion of the Hybris and PrettyPark viruses I replaced
my winsock32.dll. Now neither browser will find any URL. They open but
will not connect. Suggestions???

Here's a link on some questions, I know I never open email from anyone I dont know,
used to get sucked in by the "The info you requested" Delete them, also the "You've
just Won a Bazillion Dollars" Tempting but delete them.
CAUTION: If you find that file, do not simply delete it, because unless you also
correct the Registry, Windows will not be able to run other EXE files.
One more link,

I run with these guidelines and as the other post said don't open them trash can
is the best place for them
if you set up outlook express correctly you can highlight the mail and right click
on it and go properties
click on details to see the message with out opening the e-mail
