Thank you for your concern,
I’m not sure how to interprete your reply though. If you’re making fun of me, I can just say that there are probably thousands of well known viruses out there. They are well known because anti-virus programs are supposed to handle them. That’s why I installed avast in the first place (and because my computer has quite a few users).
If your intention was to be more constructive, my answer is this: since repairing wsock32.dll didn’t work, I replaced it from the precopy1.cab. Well, actually Avast deleted it upon rebooting and I replaced it. Still, I can’t say I understand how this managed to delete user.dat and its backups (couldn’t find it in the cabs or sysbckup either) though.
Well, I’m still waiting for a reply how to replace/recreate/copy user.dat (or to know if it is impossible)!
