sporder.dll cannot be located

Since an anti-spyware program deleted a prog called ares - apparently a 
security threat - each time I turn on I have the error message "The file 
sporder.dll cannot be located" and i cannot access the internet and my 
anti-virus program will not work. I have to restore to before the spyware 
prog was found just to access the internet. This only works until i turn off 
then I have to repeat restore every time I turn on. I have followed microsoft 
advice on rebuilding winsock LSP chain to no avail. Has anybody any other

I had similar problems after following advice from my spyware/malware 
dectector to delete something including SPORDER.DLL  This seems common advice.
But I lost connection to ADSL Internet and  Dial-up would connect but not 
find any websites.
I found some advice to search harddisk for another copy of sporder.dll and 
copy it to Windows/system32  ( for XP SP2)  and it worked after a reboot . A 
lfaster solution than  the Microsoft knowledgebase article.  Searched for a 
later version from one of the DLL sites and installed this later.

Hope this helps.
