Sockspy.dll Vs. Roboform Pro

Bit Defender installs sockspy.dll into C:\Windows\system32\sockspy. dll


Roboform Pro, a ranked form filler, tech support says "sockspy.dll" is malware that is causing internal error messages when I try to edit Roborm entries, and that I should remove the dll.


The dll shows a 2004 creation date, which would seem to indicate that if it was malware, it shoulda done it's damage long ago?


Googleing the dll gives mixed responses re it's goodness or badness.


Anyone have knowledge on this?


Thanks,


Herb

    Hello Herb


    sockspy.dll is not malware related but is part of the BitDefender products and is a part of the firewall. It was used for versions prior the new 2008 productline.
