My Windows XP SP3 system recently contracted one of those nasty pieces of malware that hijacks your entire pc .. browsers etc and says you have to purchase their software to remove the virus
Luckly I had both Spybot resident .. and McAfee Endpoint Protection enabled .. so it didnt go far ...
Unfortunately .. it did seem to do some damage to my wsock32.dll ... and here is where I am seeking help
Now when I attempt to scan a file .. or the entire system for virus' I receive the following error:
SCAN32.EXE - Ordinal not found .... The ordinal 1112 could not be located in the dynamic link library WSOCK32.dll
I have attempted to repair this using several methods including uninstalling and reinstalling McAfee EPP
Most recent attempt
1) Removed all McAfee software via Add Remove Programs (plus some internal tricks)
2) Attempted to remove \Program Files\McAfee in explorer.exe
Several files in this directory could not be deleted as they were in use
3) Booted safeboot with command prompt
4) Installed a new wsock32.dll from a previous backup
5) deleted all files under \Program Files\McAfee
6) Rebooted
7) Reinstalled McAfee Endpoint 4.5.0.1852
8) Noted that the McAfee options for
Scan computer for
Manage Features
Quick settings
Were missing
9) Rebooted
10) Checked options ... still missing
11) Checked \Program Files\VirusScan Enterprise for presence of scan32.exe .. it was present
12) Executed \Program Files\VirusScan Enterprise\scan32.exe and received
scan32.exe Ordinal not found
The Ordinal 1112 could not be located in the dynamic link library WSOCK32.dll
13) Ran sfc /scan now with my original install disk which ran to completion
14) Noted that the options
Scan computer for
Manage Features
Quick settings
Had returned .. but hwn Scan computer for ... is run ... received
scan32.exe Ordinal not found
The Ordinal 1112 could not be located in the dynamic link library WSOCK32.dll
Any suggestions?
Hi,
Follow these methods and check if it helps:
Method 1:
I would suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft Safety Scanner on your computer and check if it helps:

Note: Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.
Method 2:
I would suggest you to install the latest Microsoft Security Essential antivirus program on the computer and check if it helps.

Important Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 3:
I would suggest you to run check disk and then try running SFC scan and check if it helps.
