I want to know how to delete completely this winsock32.exe from the startup manager ? When i searched it in the system 32 folder, its not there... What should i do now ?
Someone tell me how to delete it and make my boot up process faster. Now its very slow

Theres nothing related to windows called winsock32.exe. Its a virus... The same old routine... NOD32, Spybot, Ad-Aware, HJT
