re: sporder.dll can not be found Friday, August 6, 2004 at 12:47 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Florent DEFONTIS (2 messages posted) First of all, I don't think my post was not intented to be aggressive like yours. However, what you said seemed pretty irrelevant to me. Because a DLL is 'used' by a spyware, so you must remove it ?? huh ? So because some spyware are using explorer.exe, you should remove it then ! Great solution.. And since you like google so much, type "sporder.dll" and check the content of the 1st result : /**********************************/ sporder.dll description: sporder.dll is a DLL used to investigate the LSP chain order. It's presence doesn't necessarily indicates a virus/spyware/trojan/adware presence. Any regular LSP makes use of sporder.dll during it's setup. Investigate further to determinate any pest presence. You should not delete this dll, in fact deleting it could disable the correct install or uninstall of LSPs. Although related to spyware it's also related to normal software. /**********************************/ Moreover, some commercial software like McAfee are using this DLL, I just warned you because as you can imagine, some people could read this post and remove it and I don't think they would appreciate to have their McAfee IS not working anymore, is it so hard to understand ? FYI, I'm working for an antivirus/anti-spyware company and believe me, if I wouldn't know what I'm talking about I just wouldn't waste my time posting here. Just gave my opinion, so please stop being arrogant, it's not a question who's right or wrong, the question is not to lead people to problems reading inaccurate posts. Thanks for your understanding and have a nice day.
