    Is Your Windows “ws2_32.dll” File Safe?

    The Windows Sockets Library ws2_32.dll, is required by windows and applications to handle network connections. SophosLabs recently published a detection, named W32/Patched-D, for infected ws2_32.dll files which attempts to download files onto the compromised computer.

    I hope other AV should also detect it soon.
