sporder.dll can not be found

My friend runs Win XP and is having a problem with the internet. When she tries
to start Internet Explorer or AIM, she cannot access the internet. IE displays an
error window (which will not close) that says the program cannot run because it cannot
find sporder.dll. IE also tries to find a www.incredifind.com which she has never
heard of. I can't post the exact error message for a few hours because she is in
class, but if you know of anything that might work, please help.

Jessica, sporder.dll and incredifind are both scumware. Here are some pages that
give some info on them:
http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/library/incredifind/index.phtml (incredifind)
http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/w/webhancer.asp (sporder.dll)
Try the removal instructions on these pages, and she will hopefully be able to get
online. Before she gets online, make sure to ENABLE THE INTERNET CONNECTION FIREWALL!
Then download the following tools and follow the instructions to clean the computer,
and keep it clean of scumware. Make sure to update the programs that have the update
option!
Download, install, UPDATE, and run:
Ad-Aware 6.0
Spybot Search & Destroy
SpywareGuard
Download, install and run:
Browser
Hijack Blaster
Download and run:
CWShredder
Let us know how it worked.

I am having the same problem with this sporder.dll. I got on the other computers
here at my office and they were unable to find that file when I searched for it.
If you find out what to do would you please let me know as well. Thank You

Hi,
I'm sorry my friend, but sporder.dll is a system DLL which deals with LSP Layers
in MS operating system.
IMHO, before posting such statements it's better to check by yourself cause removing
that DLL could seriously damage some applications.. :/

Before making a post such as yours, you may wish to do your homework!
Have a look at the Google results for "sporder.dll". It is associated with MANY
forms of scumware.

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.
