Windows XP - Receiving error message that ipworks6.dll is missing and needs to be replaced - how is this fixed?

You appear to have some residual reference to a virus or spyware program that your virus scanner disabled. Here is how you can find out what it is: - Boot into Safe Mode - Click Start - Type the word msconfig into the Search box and press Enter - Untick every tick mark under the Startup tab. - Click the Services tab, then tick the box that hides the Microsoft services. - Untick every remaining tick mark. - Physically disconnect the machine from the Internet. - Reboot in Normal Mode. - If this fixes the problem, restore the tick marks in groups of 8 until you find the culprit. _________________________ If this response resolves your problem, please click "Propose as answer" so that the thread can be closed.

Appreciate your quick reply. I want to back-up my files first and will let you know if this works. Thanks. MjH
