Any thoughts on this?
I was doing a fairly routine browse using the msconfig utility, checking for anything unusal and came across this new entry in the win.ini file... [Netsock] netapi.dll-8KEL1IR4-312=5374738
Anyone know what this is? Ive tried to disable but upon reboot it back.

Im using win xp home and currently have 2 computers. They are both connected to a router but no network connection is established. Is this even something to be concernd about? Just thought that it odd to all of a sudden be there, maybe Im just paranoid, lol it's been known to happen. Anyway, maybe we can attack this from a different angle. It's there, so would I delete it or remove it. Then I would be able to see the problem or the application that is requiring it. As I said in my original email, I tried using msconfig to disable it but upon reboot its enabled.
