When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

Hi!

My name is Pallav. Need your help guys. The problem started with abnow.com

I purchased PC Health Advisor which claimed online that it will remove the abnow.com issue. Unfortunately it did not work. Subsequently I tried updating my McAfee but it gave the following message:

"The ordinal 1112 could not be located in the dynamic link library WSOCK32.dll"

How do I fix this ?
