it alters the winsock dll.... I was reading about it on the Symantec site
the otherday...but as usual I cant find it again.
basically what you have to do, is goto your regeistry, and in the
localmachine and the currentuser sections under software, microsoft,
currentversion...othere there abouts there is a sectioncalled runonce.
int there it adds some entries to alter the winsock.dll (or it might be
wsock.dll), and you have to delete this section BEFORE you reboot so that it
doenst alter the dll next time you reboot.
IF you alreday have, you wil have to put the winsock.dll onto floppy, boot
into dos and replace it, then you should be fine again.....
hope htis helps....
